The Dikti ( Greek Δίκτη ) is one of the highest mountains on the Greek island of Crete with a height of 2148 meters . It is the highest point of the Dikti Mountains named after it and is located in the Lasithi prefecture .
The mountain is located about 40 kilometers southeast of the island's capital Heraklion , six kilometers south of the fertile Lasithi plateau and 14 kilometers north of the Libyan Sea (all information as the crow flies).
The summit region of the mountain is unforested and often covered with snow until early summer. Only on the lower slopes of the mountains are farms and small settlements that are still agricultural. A tourist infrastructure is not (yet) available. The road connections in the Dikti Mountains have so far been rather inadequate.
