THE VILLAGE OF MIRES IN CRETE
The village of Mires is 53km south of Iraklion on the road Iraklion - Agia Varvara - Agii Deka - Mires. It is a busy commercial town in the centre of the Mesara Plain. Here you find some of the crossroads to some of the places in the south of Crete, like Matala, Lendas and Kali Limenas. On saterdays there is a market in Mires, which attracts people from the surrounding area. There are also a number of Byzantine churches in the area. I don't know if it's just my feeling, but I'm always happy when I'm out of this town again.
