Tips & Infos

Because I have lived in Roussospiti for many years, here I would like to give you some tips for your holyday or daily life. Roussospiti belongs to the prefecture "Rethymnon", and so refer a lot of subjects this town.There are three market days in Rethymnon.

One market every Monday, which takes place in "Kali Thea (nice view)". You will find it next to the road to Roussospiti.

The main market on Thursdays is located between the park and "Moatsustreet".

The central busstation is located behind the "Venetian Fortress".

Next to it you can visit a market on Saturdays.

The “Leoforos Kountouriotis” is the main road through Rethymnon. There you can find the municipal town hall, the national phone company and a branch of the national bank.

"Dimarchio",”, municipal town hall

Next to the town hall you’ll find a branch of the national bank.

The national phone company “OTE” is also located on this road.

In the "Giamboudakisstreet" you will find the trade union and a workman's monument.

Close to the workman's monument my favourite "Kafenion" in Rethymnon.
