Nightlife

Crete is not as well-known for its nightlife as other Ionian Islands, but it has its fair share within the busy resort towns of Heraklion and Limenas Hersonissou. Head to Heraklion Town, Iraklio, Hania, Rethymno and Agios Nikloas where with bars, clubs, discos, lounges and pubs abound. Popular clubs include Disco Athina in Heraklion and Aquarius and Sorrento in Agios Nikolaos. The towns of Malia, Chania and Hersonissos are also worth a visit but these are mostly hot spots for package holiday tourists with bars and clubs catering to a younger crowd, intent on a lively night out.

Older revellers will enjoy the fantastic restaurants, pubs, lounges and tavernas with live music in Chania, which are great venues for a pleasant evening out. Other options while in Chania include joining the locals for their 'volta', a leisurely stroll along the waterfront or ride in a horse-drawn carriage before settling down to a sundowner or dinner.
