Poseidon
About
Poseidon, on Crete, sits at Posidonos 54, Iraklio 713 07, Greece, so a first-time visitor should expect a bar in the island's main port city rather than a beachside spot. Iraklio is the island's largest urban centre, which means the surroundings are busy streets and city traffic rather than resort calm. Guests arriving for the first time will find a straightforward bar setting with the city's commercial life around it.
Across 310 reviews the bar holds a 3.6/5 rating, a mixed but substantial record from the people who have stopped in. Heraklion is the nearest of the island's main towns, and the bar's Iraklio setting puts it within reach of the city's own neighbourhoods. Chania, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi all lie further along the coast, connected by the island's road network.
The bar's website, http://www.hotelposeidon.gr/, is the online point of reference for the venue. Winter brings rain and rough seas, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March, so the busier months fall outside that stretch. Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer.
Heraklion, the island's capital, is the town most travellers pass through first, and the bar sits within the city rather than on its outskirts. Olives, grapes and capers grow widely on terraced slopes across the island, which shapes what appears on local tables. Visitors moving between the main towns by road will find Iraklio a natural stopping point on the northern coast.
