Perhaps a thousend year old Kalderimi or cobblestone paved roads for mulis were the main traffic system in Crete in former times. Nowadays Kalderimi like this from the Lasithi plateau towards the north coast of Crete are popular routes for hikers. Kalderimi heißen die oft gepflasterten Maultierwege, die in Kreta wohl bereits vor tausend Jahren das wichtigste Verkehrsnetz bildeten. Heute zerfallen viele Kalderimi und werden allenfalls wie dieser von der Lasithi-Hochebene in Richtung Nordküste führende Weg von Wanderern als beliebte Routen genutzt.
