Oceana
About
Oceana, on Crete, is found in Εξώπολη 730 08, a setting on the island's western side. First-time visitors should expect a bar in a village location, with the site reached via the road network that links Crete's main towns. Guests have rated Oceana 3.9 out of 5, a figure drawn from 26 reviews, and that score reflects a mixed but generally positive response from those who have visited. The site is within reach of Chania and Rethymno, two of the larger centres on the island, so arrivals by road are straightforward. Exopoli lies on the northern coast, placing the bar between the island's main resort areas.
Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno and Agios Nikolaos are among the nearby towns, each with its own connections. Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi lie further afield, each with its own character.
The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries.
Daily life on Crete slows in the afternoon, and tavernas serve late into the evening. Greek is the main language on Crete, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus. Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian remains are found across the islands, so a visit can include historical sites alongside time at the bar.
