Practice the Greek Alphabet
It should all be clear now - sort of. "Moires" is often written as "Mires" on maps and on some other signs. Consistency in signage is not a Greek trait; prepare yourself for variants even in official materials. Extra credit: We are on the island of the ancient Minoans, Crete (also called Kriti, Creta, Kreta, etc.)
