Does anyone know where I can find some good health food/bio stores in Iasi?
Also looking for any nice gyms/fitness/wellness centres?
A place to buy a second hand bike?
A good physiotherapist, massage therapist, acupuncturist?

Does anyone know a company that can truck personal things from Germany to Iasi inexpensively (as I'm not moving SO much stuff)?

Try http://atlassib.ro/agentie/agentia-iasi-gara/ and they even have an English version of their website which isn't very helpful.

It would be ideal if you contacted them and they can also let you know how much it can cost approx. I have personally used this company in the past and never had any problems.

Good luck!

Thanks for the link. The english page isn't loading unfortunately.
Are you in Iasi? I can't see any transport options for Iasi.

No I am not in Iasi but they do have a weekly bus between Germany (Frankfurt) and Iasi. Where do you want to transport personal stuff from in Germany?

Many neighborhoods and each mall has naturist/bio stores, they are quite easy to find. They are called "Plafar". Hypermarkets also will dedicated sections for this.

As for second hand bikes, try olx.ro.....though be cautious, lots of cheats and jokers operate about there. I've been ripped off on more than one occasion from sellers there. Negotiate the price also, as most people over-evaluate their belongs, ridiculously so in many cases. Try to make sure you can inspect the bike before paying if you get it from a non-local seller.

How much is, not SO much? A few medium size boxes that won't fit in a car with you, enough to fill a Sprinter van? How many kilos are you estimating?

…but I can't drive from Berlin to Iasi.
because I have a condition that I cannot drive for more than 20 minutes at a time. and less important is that I don't know how to drive on this side of the road

The link above shows you that there's a bus on Saturday from Berlin to Iasi. The cost for one way journey is 84 EUR or 375.57 RON but I would think that is for a person travelling. The bus leaves from the Central station in Berlin and arrives in Autogara Real on Str Moara in Iasi.

I hope this helps and if you still need more info then PM me.

Thanks!
I can only see Berlin to Bucharest. I had a look at this website before. Again, I don't know if I'd be able to travel with a bike, a massage table, one large suitcase, in addition to my other luggage (which I would check in on an aeroplane, probably one more large suitcase and one small one). And for me it says 185euro...

Yes mainly because you must have chosen a return trip. Even though the trip is from Berlin to Bucharest it says on the next page that the bus also travels to Iasi. My suggestion would be to call the bus company.
