Dark Tales
About
Dark Tales serves Crete from Vlaston 3 in Iraklio, placing it in the island's main northern city. Visitors have given it a 4.9 out of 5 score across 141 reviews, a consistently high record.
Iraklio is straightforward to reach from the main resorts and towns on Crete, with Chania and Rethymno to the west and Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia along the eastern coast. The bar sits within Iraklio rather than on the coast, so it draws both residents and travellers passing through the city. Nearby Matala and Elafonisi sit elsewhere on the island circuit.
The season runs roughly from May to October, with August the busiest month for ferries and beaches. A Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1342798709107139/ carries further detail.
Daily life slows in the afternoon, and tavernas serve late into the evening, a rhythm that suits a bar in the city. Island bakeries sell spanakopita and tyropita, and vineyards on Santorini, Crete and Paros produce local wines. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches.
