They contain more than 40 peaks over 2,000 meters high. The highest peak in this area is Mt Pachnes, at 2,453 meters above sea level (Crete’s second highest peak). Other prominent peaks are Mt Agkathes (1,511 m) in the eastern Lefka Ori, and Mt Agios Dikaios (1,182 m) in the far west. </p><p>The regional unit also includes three <a href="/wiki/Headlands" class="mw-redirect" title="Headlands">headlands</a>, known as the "three heads" of Crete.

It is relatively large, with a perimeter of 3.5 km. The lake used to be called 'Korisia' after ancient 'Korion', a city thought to be in the area with a temple to <a href="/wiki/Athena" title="Athena">Athena</a>. The lake used to be reportedly full of eels but now is better known for its terrapins and tourists. Tavernas and bicycle rental shops line part of the shore. </p><p>There are numerous rivers in the Chania region most flowing from the White Mountains to the north coast.
