Rogdia or Rodia

By car or bike from the airport, take the new national road heading west (towards Chania). Rogdia is signposted to the right, just before the big power station. Follow the signs. The road is quite winding and offers distractingly beautiful views as you climb up to the village.
Features apart from great views, serveral tavernas and coffee shops also of historical interest a restored Venietian villa.

heraklion by night 2

Again, this is somewhere that during the summer is better visited at night. It is once again on the port road in Heraklion exactly opposite the sea. It is a cinema complex/shopping center with lots of coffee shops and restraunts.
The Talos centre is a great place to sit drinking your coffee and people watch. If you really want to see modern life in Greece then this is a great place.
I think that alot of people are put off leaving their holiday resorts, in case they have a problem with language. Let me tell you, I don't know anyone in Greece who doesn't speak English. All young adults and shop workers have at least one extra language, the most two, usually English and German, or French.
Basically, what I am saying is if you visit Crete, take a trip to Heraklion in the evening, it is really beautiful.
Eating out in Heraklion is also a must. There are some great restraunts in the centre and again along the port road close to the harbour. You can choose from ouzary's which offer many traditional fresh fish and vegatable delicacies, to some really top quality restraunts.
My favorite place to eat so far this year is The Bar on the port road. There I ordered rocket and salmon salad followed by spaggetti with truffle sauce, and for dessert chocolate souffle. My friend had steak with pepper and jack daniels sauce and rocket, pear,pommegranite and parmesan salad, along with a good bottle of white wine our bill came to 57 euros. Not bad I think.

heraklion by night

Here I go again about Heraklion. I can't help it, such major improvements have been made to the city that I thing it deserves a visit both day and night. If you are staying on the island of Crete pay a visit to it's main city. These snaps where taken on a Sunday evening along the port road, which has been re-developed.
I always wonder about parents on holiday, and entertaining children, in the evening, apart from tavernas and bar/pubs, there isn't much entertainment for children. Well Mythos Land is always a success with my boys.
It is a kind of mini attraction park. One of the reasons that I like this place for my children is that most of the attractions involve physical activity. There are trampolines, climbing frames, inflatable slides, all sorts of fun action games that get children motivated and active.
In Greece because of the heat these places are busy during the evening when it is cooler. It is quite normal for the place to be swarming with families at 11pm. With a cool breeze coming from the sea and lots of seating and coffee facilities for parents, it makes an interesting change.
