Why people stop in Myloi to eat

For generations, Myloi was a place people passed through: by train at the junction station, and by car or bus on the old national road before it climbed the mountains towards Tripoli. Travellers needed something quick and good, and the village answered with souvlaki. When trains stopped at Myloi, souvlaki sellers walked alongside the carriages; later the grill houses by the crossroads fed drivers and bus passengers.

The trains no longer run, but the habit stayed. Today the souvlaki comes from the charcoal grills around the village centre, and along the waterfront the fish tavernas serve what the local boats brought in. Some of them have been run by the same families for decades.
