Strategically placed in the center of Rethymnon Percecture, Roustika village is an ideal place for quiet holidays that combines daily excursions to the magical south beaches of Crete (15 km from beaches such as Preveli and Plakias), cool afternoons on the hills of mainland Crete (300m altitude guarantees lower temperatures during hot Greek summers), but also realatively easy access to Rethymno Town for elegant dining and shopping.
Roustika is altogether a traditional village,one of the better preserved in Crete, right in the E4 European Long Distance Path which starts at the Pyrenees in Spain to end in Cyprus and also hometown of famous Greek poet Manolis Anagnostakis.
The village hosts a beautiful and as-original-as-can-be traditional 'kafeneio' (taverna) where one can taste homecooking by the lovely owner/cook/waitress and sip 'tsikoudia', the local alcoholic beverage.
