Book Spot
About
Book Spot serves Crete from Chimaras 6 in Rethymno, on the island's northern coast.
Visitors have given the shop a 4.6 out of 5 average across 14 reviews, a strong result for a bookshop. Rethymno sits between Chania and Heraklion, both reachable by road, and the town also connects onward to Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia further east. Book Spot trades as a bookshop, and its shelves serve readers in the Rethymno area.
Rethymno's old town holds Venetian remains, and the shop's address places it within the town's street grid rather than on the outskirts. The nearby south-coast spots of Matala and Elafonisi lie across the island for anyone combining a book stop with a longer drive.
On Crete, Greek is the everyday language, and its alphabet appears on road signs and menus. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, so travel plans around the island are worth building with some slack.
