Yes, but not on the Psiloritis, that is Chalasokefala 1917 m ("Destroyed Head" or "Broken Head"), The name is a typically Cretan, very vivid description of the mountain's nature: The summit area is extremely steep, barren, rugged and characterized by bare, almost "crumbled"-looking scree and limestone. For mountain hikers, this is fascinating, but also quite difficult terrain! On its flank, there is a very famous mountain church (Agios Ioannis (Saint John) near Dyo Prini). You can only see the Psiloritis a few hundred meters higher up.
