An alternative way to drive from Heraklion to Rethymnon is through the old national road. If you feel adventurous this is an excellent way to explore the rough Cretan landscape and the villages along the way. The road is snakelike and needles to say it will take you significantly longer to arrive. A favourite destination about 30-40 minutes drive from Heraklion is small village called Drosia. The village is famous for its taverns on both sides of the road that specialise in grilled pork and lamb. Every weekend hordes of hungry visitors, especially from Heraklion, arrive at the village to taste the specialities.

Sirocco, Agios Nikolaos
Sirocco is a fantastic place for food or drinks, overlooking the Marina bay in Agios Nikolaos. Our favourites are the Italian style pizzas they prepare, accompanied by a cold glass of beer. Sirocco offers an excellent value for money, as it is the case with most places serving food in Agios Nikolaos. For example, you can get a large glass of beer (0.5l) for €3.20 and a large pizza for €6.00-9.50.
