10 kms away from Ziros is the village Hametulo from which is starting the interesting trek of the homonymous gorge. The gorge is dry but impressive and it ends to the beach of Xerocambos.

Near by Handras are two important Venetian settlements, Voila and Etia. The settlements are preserved in a good condition due to the reconstruction program of Lefki municipality. The Venetian settlement Voila is spread across a hill 1km away from the village Handras. In the same place there is the church of Agios Georgios.

In the area are also a number of Byzantine churches full of frescoes, a technique that stops when the icon painting became popular.

You can approach Ziros from Zakros through the E4 international path, passing from the ruins of the historical village Skalia.

The whole area of Ziros plateau is full of various Venetian, Byzantine and Turkish remains
