Apart from the E4 path, there are dozens of great trails that are worth walking if you visit Crete. Ancient tracks and stone paths that once were the main roads of the island, today are a magnet for nature lovers.
Trail Paranimfi - Tris Ekklisies 
Asterousia Mountains are characterized by the wildness and the eerie landscapes causing awe to anyone attempting to discover them. A trail that offers countless emotions is the ancient path that connects the village Paranimfi to Tris Ekklisies and runs on the edge of the cliff.
This route connects Kapetaniana with Agios Ioannis and then heads west to the beach of Salamias. The first part to Agios Ioannis on the side of the wild gorge of Goula is fairly steep and instable in some places. Then we meet the village of Agios Ioannis and the cavernous temple of the old monastery of Saint John.
Ligiofarago Gorge 
Ligiofarago is one of the few canyons of East Asterousia range that one can walk down to the sea without needing technical equipment. Recently the path has been signed, connecting Achendrias to Maridaki, running through the gorge.
Since 2013, some villages of Apokoronas province organizes the route Livadouria at province Apokoronas. This beautiful route crosses the villages Tsivaras, Saint Paul, Douliana and Gavalochori. Livadouria path has a total length of 6 km and comes acorss an area blessed by nature, full of olive groves, woods of cypresses, holm oaks and myrtles.
This path is the main path from which the residents of Asterousia descended to Monastery Koudouma from the region of Kofinas. We first make a small detour to ascend to the highest peak of Asterousia, Kofinas (altit.1231m) where there is the church of the Holy Cross with stunning views to the sea.
The path from Achentrias to Agios Nikitas and then to Tsoutsouras is one of the most authentic routes on the island, offering unique views of the wild coast of South Crete, the sharp and steep rocks of Asterousia Range with low vegetation.
3500 years ago the Minoans ascended to the sacred cave of Ideon Andron in plateau Nida to submit their offerings to their gods. To climb Psiloritis, they walked through the canyon of Krousonas, reached Zominthos and from there they walked to Nida. We can walk in the same trail even today and feel like modern Minoans.
This route runs through a well designated path that starts from wood Chamoprina near Malia. Initially we climb a steep slope with unique views to the north coast. The trails leads to the beautiful forest of Azilakes (i.e. holm oaks). There is another road reaching Azilakodasos from Krassi.
