Nightlife in Agios Nikolaos, Crete

By , About.com Guide

Like every other town in Greece, the nightlife spots in Agios Nikolaos change their names often but usually offer a similar experience year after year. The area is quite walkable, with a variety of restaurants around the harbor and the deep inner bay. While you can make plans ahead of time, you may have better luck just walking around and seeing and hearing what spots attract you at that moment. At any given time, there will be one or two bars on docked vessels, too. Here are some recent places for visitors to go for a taste of the nightlife in the heart of Agios Nikolaos:

Sorrento - A long-term survivor, this still packs them in... so much so that it has its own very revealing thread on the Explore Crete bulletin board.

Mambo - previously known as Lipstick, this hotspot has reopened under this new name.

Alexandros Roof Garden - One of the consistently lively spots in Agios Nikolaos.
