Back to newsA charitable running race took place in Moires, a town located in the Heraklion regional unit in central-south Crete, in support of a local resident named Heraklis. The event drew an emotional crowd of participants and spectators, coming together to show solidarity and raise funds for the cause. Moires is situated roughly 45 kilometers southwest of Heraklion city, in the fertile Messara plain. Events like this reflect the strong community spirit found across Cretan towns and villages. While this was primarily a local gathering, visitors in the area are welcome to engage with similar grassroots community events, which often feature local food, music, and an opportunity to experience authentic Cretan hospitality beyond the tourist trail. Check local noticeboards or ask at your accommodation for upcoming charitable or cultural events in the region.
