Built at an altitude of 300 meters, Roussospiti is divided into Upper and Lower Roussospiti and offers magnificent views of the Cretan Sea. It is therefore often called the "Balcony of Rethymno." The village was established by the Venetians starting in the 12th century. The buildings are in the Venetian style with arches, colonnades, and fortress-like facades. There is a 17th-century fountain, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with several preserved frescoes, and the Monastery of Saint Irini, which is a protected historical monument.
Several Venetian houses have been preserved in the village, the most distinctive of which is the three-story house next to the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, with its arched passageway on the ground floor. Near the village is the cave of Lygeri, which belonged to a Levantine woman named Lygeri who was captured by the Turks and sold into slavery in the Middle East.
In addition, there are two gorges of exceptional natural beauty. -

We are at your side at every stage of your property purchase in Crete and will accompany you from the first conversation through to the notary contract.Your ideas are important to us, such as the location on Crete in combination with sea views, proximity to the beach, sandy beach, stone house or swimming pool. There are also important points to consider, such as the dimensions of the rooms in a property. In Greece and therefore also on Crete, the walls are included, i.e. external wall to external wall. In contrast to German real estate, here measurements are taken from the inside wall to the inside wall.

Please also note that when specifying the location of real estate offers on Crete, these are approximate values.
The Greek energy certificate (if required) is available during the inspection.Additional costs such as commission, real estate transfer tax, notary fees and legal fees are added to the stated purchase price. You can find more details on our homepage at INFOS.
