You can continue a little further south past the restaurant.
Mili Gorge
A lovely wooded hike in the Mili Gorge along a stream. The best option is to park in the north car park so that you can start with the climb and descend on the way back. There are restaurants at both points. Allow 1 hour 45 minutes for the round trip with children.

A nice little walk with streams and ruins
Pretty, but still less spectacular than others
The facilities are in very poor condition, which is a shame...
It’s still worth a visit though – they’re lovely!

A superb short hike with a slight incline, but easily manageable with children. Not very long, but with numerous viewpoints (both distant and in the woods). You can take a break or have a drink on either side of the gorges.
As mentioned in the description, it's best to start on the north side.
In short, a great find for spending a quiet half-day in the shade for almost the entire route.
A must-do.
We did it outside of the holiday season, so there weren't many people.

This is an unusual hike in Crete to its highest peak. Most guidebooks describe a fairly long hike starting from the Nida plateau. After talking to local residents, we tried a shorter route. If you want breathtaking 360° views of the sea, this hike is for you, provided you are fit and have good hiking experience.

Less well known but also less crowded and more shaded than the Samaria Gorge, the Imbros Gorge offers a beautiful descent almost to the Libyan Sea.We did this descent in the middle of August on a fairly hot day and didn't suffer from the heat at all, as we left at 8:30 a.m. and spent 80% of the time in the shade.The descent took us two hours, taking our time (photos).The descent costs €10 per person (there is a small hut at the start of the descent with someone there)and the taxi back up costs €25.
