    Xatheri

    The best way to find any live Cretan music in town is by asking at the Aerakis Music store, spotting posters around town, or trying your luck at Xatheri, which has regular live music on Friday and Saturday nights (November to May).

    Privilege

    Iraklio's smart set packs this dance club that can easily hold 1000 people. Like many of Crete's dance clubs, there's international music (rock, techno etc) until about 02:00, when Greek club music takes over.

    Guernica

    A great combination of traditional décor and contemporary music make this one of Iraklio's hippest bar/cafés. The rambling old building has a delightful terrace garden for the summer.

  5. Big Fish

    The most popular waterfront club is the pretentious but nonetheless classy Big Fish, in a stunningly restored old stone building. Also popular is the club right next door, Desire.

    Utopia

    This almost-formal old-style café specialises in teas, hot chocolates and fondues, and has an assortment of equally wicked ice-creams.

    Take Five

    This old favourite on pedestrianised El Greco Park has been rather swamped by louder new arrivals in the neighbourhood.
