In Venetian documents of the time, they are referred to as &#8220;Magarites&#8221; and there probably lies the etymology of their name, since magarikon meant clay. The village of Margarites, in the municipality of Mylopotamos, is undoubtedly the most important pottery center of Western Crete. During the visit to the village, the visitor can admire a multitude of ceramic objects such as pots, jars and ceramic utensils, which are found in the courtyards and on the walls of the houses.The main reason why this art developed in the village is the excellent quality and large reserves of the raw material available, which is none other than the clay soil. \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43173e0 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"43173e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 08-05-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" src=\"https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/margarites-culture-wellness-kastellos.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-11476\" alt=\"margarites-culture-wellness-kastellos\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/margarites-culture-wellness-kastellos.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/margarites-culture-wellness-kastellos-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/margarites-culture-wellness-kastellos-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/margarites-culture-wellness-kastellos-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/margarites-culture-wellness-kastellos-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wellness-kastellos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/margarites-culture-wellness-kastellos-1199x800.jpg 1199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c5f7e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c5f7e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tToday, at least 16 pottery workshops operate in Margarites, where you can buy ceramics and see the artisans working in the way of their ancestors.
