Ippokampos ★ 4.4
Sofokli Venizelou 3, Iraklio 712 02
Ippokampos is the seafront ouzeri Heraklion sends visitors to, grilling the day's catch and pouring raki at pavement tables across from the water.
Tip: Tables spill across the promenade opposite the water, and the seafront ones go first on a summer evening.
Ouzeri tou Terzaki ★ 4.4
Lochagou Marineli 17, Iraklio 712 02
Ouzeri tou Terzaki has poured raki in a quiet port alley in Heraklion since 1978, sending out mezedes, moussaka and whatever the boats landed.
Tip: The alley off Plateia Agiou Dimitriou is easy to miss. Aim for the port end of Lochagou Marineli and look for the chairs.
