The best cocktail bars Héraklion

This cosy lounge café is housed in a former ice cream factory dating from the first half of the ^20th century. Today, the foundations of the building preserve vestiges of the ancient Byzantine and Venetian periods, as well as interwar warehouses. Popular with locals, especially young people, the Pagopoieion offers brunch, popular world dishes (pasta, burgers, pizzas, etc.), salads, pastries and, later in the evening, cocktails.

A well-hidden garden in the heart of Heraklion, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This upscale, open-air lounge-bar is popular for its mixed salads, sushi, cocktails and general ambience. Aesthetically decorated, it ranks among the top ten Greek bars. The dishes, inspired by Japanese and Polynesian cuisine, come as a pleasant surprise. The wine list is excellent, and the cocktails refreshing. A meeting place for the city's young people, you can spend some very pleasant moments under the stars..
