In the countryside

With the exception of bakeries (which close on Sundays) village shops stay open every day, and close at about 2200. In western Crete, Sfakia district has several village bakeries, which together supply the busy south coast with its massive daily needs. The boat service transports fresh food supplies daily from Hora Sfakion to Loutro and Ay. Roumeli. Currently there is no pharmacy in the district, but village supermarkets stock non-prescription essentials. For Psiloritis (Mount Ida), villages of the foothills all have grocery shops although Mires, to the south, may be the only place large enough to support a pharmacy. The larger villages of the Lassithi Plain all have grocery shops, but Tzermiado is the only one to have banks, ATMs and a pharmacy.
