Moíres

With over 6,000 inhabitants, Moíres or Mires is the largest town in the fertile Messara Plain and the administrative center of the municipality of Festos. Yes, that's right, Festos, the one with the archaeological site of Phaistos.

There is a farmers market in Mires on Saturdays and you can find everything there. So off we went to Mires and packed the car full of goodies.

I actually wanted to eat Loukoumades, but my favorite Loukoumades café was closed. So we stopped by our favorite butcher, who grills in the square in front together with the tavern next door.

That's a great activity for a Saturday, although I'm always happy to be able to leave the hustle and bustle behind me at some point and drive back down the winding roads to my sleepy little coastal village. 😍

So here I am back again, the fridge is full and for sure I went swimming at my private beach 🏊.En savoir plus
