Paradiso, Agia Galini

Large music bar close to the harbour, which only gets going after dinner, then rocks into the small hours, with loud music and a young clientele.

Paradiso, Agia Galini
Pili Tis Ammou, Chania

Tucked away in a courtyard shaded by pines and tamarisks atop the ramparts on the east side of the Venetian harbour, Pili Tis Ammou is at its very best in the evening.
Platanias

Platanias is where most of Chania’s younger residents go to party on summer weekends. There are at least a dozen great clubs, most with open-air dance floors, and things do not really start to get lively until well after midnight (see Platanias).
Raki Bar Pandelis, Sougia

Old-fashioned wooden chairs, marble-topped tables and a vinecovered verandah are part of the appeal. Its interior – a vaulted bar with a wooden floor, set in an old stone building – is attractive too.
Rethymno

Most of the liveliest music-bars are in the streets inland from the harbour. Later on, the nightlife scene shifts to the openair discos and clubs in the resort area, along the seafront east of the centre (see Rethymno).
Siteia

The nightlife is a good deal less frenzied here than at other resorts along the north coast, but many a pleasant evening can be spent wandering from bar to bar along the waterfront. There are half a dozen good dance clubs (see Siteia).
Ta Dio Lux, Chania

The best place in town for a sundown cocktail. Tables with a view are at a premium, though, as this is currently Chania’s trendiest bar.
Ta Leontaria, Irakleio

Beneath the city walls, this old-fashioned patisserie serves Greek coffee, frappé, espresso and cappuccino, ices and creamfilled pastries.
The Four Lions, Irakleio

A rooftop café open from early morning until late at night. It offers a panoramic view of the older part of Irakleio as well as cold drinks, snacks, wines, spirits and cocktails.
Veterano, Ierapetra

A newly fashionable terrace café ideal for a leisurely breakfast and just as good for a sundowner.
