The Bitters Bar (Heraklion)

The Bitters Bar is a speakeasy-style location with a decor inspired by the 1920s. The bitters referred to in its name are spirits flavoured with herbs and spices, which were once used for medical purposes. Nowadays, they are used in cocktail preparation. Here you'll find both classic cocktails such as Martini, Daiquiri and Bloody Mary, as well as house specialities. They also have wines, beers, stronger alternatives like whiskey and rum, and some non-alcoholic beverages.

Bars & Nightlife

The two main party towns of Crete are Malia and Hersonissos, located withing easy reach from the cosmopolitan Heraklion and the quieter Agios Nikolaos. Korai Street in Heraklion is notably lined up with bars and clubs, but also Chania's Old Town and Rethymno have no shortage of places where you can spend the night dancing and drinking refreshing cocktails. If you're looking for a chill evening, just stop by one of the many friendly taverns scattered around the island, or end your lazy beach day at a beach bar.
