Xalavro Open Bar emerged from the ruins of an old house
in the heart of the old town of Heraklion.
Where everyone saw but ruins, others saw a vibrant all-day
open space for coffee and drinks, a meeting point, a place
where new ideas and tastes would be born.
And there happened Xalavro Open Bar, now named as one
of the best cocktail bars in Heraklion Crete and Greece.
With emphasis on fresh, local products and to honor the rich tradition of spirits and cocktails, we welcome you on a unique - premium journey that is being awarded year after year!
Taste this year's brilliant cocktail list and don't hesitate to refer to our team for any inquiries.
