This was a tree in front of our cottage patio in Myrtos. The really generous owner and now friend said we could eat as many as we wanted. He explained that they are highly prized on Crete. They were the most delicious fruit I've ever tasted...kind of a cross between a lychee, strawberry and a starfruit...oh and a mango. Only sweeter.
great blog. I envy you. Those are loquats. we had a tree in our yard in CA when I was a kid. there are lots of them in Greece. the Greek word is mousmoulo
