Timber Merchants

[altohb]

Does anyone know of a "proper" timber merchant in Ag Nik or anywhere to the east, as the one in Sitia which we've used for many years is now more or less defunct, and we'd prefer not to have to trek to Heraklion to Praktika!

TIA

Hi

I assume you're referring to Maria Petroulakis on the main road; if so, I agree. Did you know there's another timber merchant about half way down the airport road on the left? I've used them a couple of times and they hold a reasonable stock of reasonable quality timber.

Yeah ,I use the timber merchants up near the airport they have .good stock but sometimes it's hard to find just what you want and then someone to give you a price ,until you have loaded it on the truck and tied it down ... I think it's the same company that used to be next to the traffic lights at the bottom of the hill as you arrive in town from Ierapetra. But sadly the guy I knew who worked there years ago ,who I always went to find 'cos he was friendly and knew the prices does not seem to work at the new site ....There is also a very good timber merchant at Ierapetra ...Head west about a kilometre , along the coast road past all the car sales places and they are on the left set back a bit from the road ... They had a big selection of timber , soft wood , rabotea and studding , some hardwoods including oak . and a fair selection of ply wood 18mm shuttering ply through to 3or 4 mm birch ply ...I have not been there for years so not sure if this is still the case ...hope this helps ..jeff..

Thanks, both of you. Will check out the one on the airport road.

I've used ΑΛΕΞΑΚΗΣ ΑΕ in Ag Nik in the past, they cut to size and deliver.
