I think that my special preference for the Lefka Ori has been already understood on this site, but it has been this summer that I have climbed nearly a twenty of these summits, shooting at least one panorama from each of them.
Needless to say, this will pose a serious challenge for the patience of the Betrachter in the near future. Just as a little help to overcome the problem, I have thought to start (not least, as an exercise to return, after a pause, to the used panorama practice) with a view from Grias Soros, which is for me the most beautiful among these mountains. Depleted of its perfect conical shape, this panorama should be in a certain sense the worst of the series, so things should go better in the future for the Betrachter (?!).
Names and heights follow primarily the Anavasi sheets Lefka Ori 1:25.000 and Samaria-Sougia-Paleohora 1:30.000. Secondarily they follow, when needed, my GPS.
The major error on Udeuschle is Mesa Soros being named Svourikti, with the latter becoming a vague Soros.
Among the instructive pages about these mountains let me point out:

Sooner or later they will indeed come... For now, following an advice by Heinz Höra, in order to ease my job, I started to correct the Lefka Ori information contained on Geonames. Just for information, the advice was grabbed from N.18233 where there was the problem of a 13m height difference. Even meditating that mankind has perhaps bigger problems - especially nowadays - than those 13 metres, I took on enthusiastically the suggestion, and already today I am starting to obtain from Udeuschle sounder renderings of these beloved Cretan Munros.
Still, one has perhaps bigger problems than that of finding all summits messed up on Udeuschle, but I must admit that the job goes on in a somewhat smoother way!
Cheers, Alberto.
