The Mediterranean • Eat & drink • Maiami in Crete, Greece
The drinking experience at Maiami reflects Manousakis’s winemaking craft, featuring Nostos Wines from the Manousakis Winery. Each label in the series tells a tale, two of which are adorned by Manousakis’s own drawings. As a homage to the land, a majority of the ingredients sourced for Maiami’s kitchen hail from Manousakis’s gardens, grown from locally-salvaged heirloom seeds, thanks to partner Stelios Kalyvianakis. The ethos of care is embodied in every glass of wine and every plate served, all underlining Manousakis’s vision: to create a dynamic, yet relaxed space that harmonises love for art, food, wine and good company.
Steeped in history and bathed in Mediterranean sunlight, Crete, Greece’s largest island, serves as a captivating blend of vibrant landscapes and cultural charm. Traverse the bustling streets of Heraklion, home to a treasure trove of Minoan art, or relish the coastal beauty of Chania with its stunning Venetian Harbour. History buffs can unravel ancient tales at the Palace of Knossos and the city of Phaistos, while nature enthusiasts can marvel at the impressive Samaria Gorge and the unique pink sands of Elafonisi Beach. A healthy, delectable Cretan diet awaits food lovers, and the locals’ legendary hospitality, philoxenia, warms the heart of every traveller.
