-
The place to go after dark if you are looking for more than a quiet brandy, if only for the fact that this is the resort’s sole gesture towards an upbeat nightlife.
-
In an old house which has been imaginatively refurbished to create bars, a café and a restaurant, this is the most attractive place for a drink in Ierapetra.
-
This café-bar, on a 1920s freighter in the outer harbour, makes a wonderfully serene spot for after dinner drinks.
-
Ices, cocktails, soft drinks, freshly squeezed orange juice and milk shakes. Also has an internet café area where you can pick up your e-mail.
-
Bar with a lake view and garden terrace shaded by greenery – a romantic place to laze away an afternoon or enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail or after-dinner digestif.
-
Owned by an expatriate Belgian, Mike’s offers sweet and savoury crepes on a breezy terrace by the sea.
-
One of the livelier spots in town, with live Cretan music and Greek pop most weekends.
-
On a summer evening, the garden of this graceful Neo-Classical building is an especially pleasant place to quaff a drink and absorb the last of the day’s sun.
-
A good spot for leisurely ouzo sipping and meze snacking, amid a string of tavernas, bars and cafés that stretch between the Venetian Fortress and the ferry pier.
-
A newly fashionable terrace café ideal for a leisurely breakfast and just as good for a sundowner.
