Not worth it: numerous beaches, attractions, museums, water parks - all this makes your vacation more than eventful. What if you have energy left for the evening and night? Does your soul require fun, loud music, bright colors?
At any Greek resort there are places where lovers of dancing until the morning gather. But somewhere (for example, Santorini) the clubs are small, disco lovers will find like-minded people in Fira or Perisse, but if you are looking for multi-thousand clubs, you will clearly be disappointed. The situation is completely different in Mykonos or Crete.

Greece is not only the sea, sun, beaches, ancient monuments, delicious food and local wines. Nightlife and a large selection of entertainment are an important and integral part of the holiday for tourists, and for the Greeks themselves. Of course, there are nuances associated with the national character of these cheerful, good-natured, hospitable and often reckless people who, like all southerners, love to live here and now, forgetting about everything in the world...
Nightlife in Greece - general rules
All tourists are different. In Greece, a standard set of evening entertainment will suffice: clubs, bars, discos, hotel entertainment show programs. Others want to experience the local nightlife - with a dash of national flavor. In the first case, everything is simple - any famous resort or large city will offer enough options. Clubs and discos begin to “warm up” the public closer to midnight, and the last chord sounds with the roosters at 5–6 in the morning. And then the most persistent ones move “for coffee” and a snack to establishments that are specially waiting for such restless revelers early in the morning “on the road.” Competition in the night life industry in Greece is so great and intense that nightclubs and popular bars strive to stand out in every possible way and attract the sleepless people with visiting local and international stars, themed show programs, discounts on alcohol during happy hours, free snacks, etc. etc. In general, in Greece everything is fine with “compliments”. Having had lunch or dinner a second time in the same tavern, you can count on a free glass of ouzo, fresh juice for a child, or a plate of fruit and sweets for dessert. Even with a cup of coffee you get free water, chocolate or a cookie, and with a glass of beer you will be given nuts, chips or spicy olives. Good nightclubs charge entry fees (usually from 5 to 20 €). The fee includes one alcoholic drink. And if you have already settled in and looked around, then be prepared for considerable prices for alcohol in the club bar. A bottle of wine will cost 50–100 €, whiskey – from 100 to 200, a pack of cigarettes – from 10 €. Of course, at the resorts there are also plenty of democratic youth establishments, where beer flows like a river, and no one counts cocktails. Both tourists and Greeks love to spend the evening in a sports bar on days when an interesting match is broadcast. The Greeks, although ardent fans, are not at all aggressive even under the influence of copious libations of joy or grief. The same cannot be said about English youth; this is the main “headache” of inexpensive bars and discos.
And a few words about the casino. There are only nine of them in Greece today. They are located in different regions of the country, including on the islands. There is no point in listing everything; lovers of this type of entertainment will find their addresses and descriptions if desired. We only note that skilled players will be most interested in the Mont Parnassus casino (in the suburbs of Athens), in the resort of Loutraki (Athens Riviera) and in the Porto Carras casino (Sithonia, Chalkidiki). These establishments have the largest selection of types of gambling and slot machines.
Merge with the locals, or Where the Greeks themselves like to go
The Greeks themselves also love to relax and hang out, go out, show off and look at people. They have their favorite clubs and bars, as well as places that are still little explored by visiting tourists. We are talking about bouzoukya bars and music halls.
A music hall is a kind of beach or country club that is open almost 24 hours a day. It is a private area with an equipped beach, swimming pool, tavern or restaurant with a dance floor, bars and recreation areas for the whole family. Such places are especially full on weekends and holidays; they can work only in the summer season or all year round (in large cities: Athens and the Riviera, Thessaloniki and Patras). You can come here at any time: during the day everyone swims, sunbathes, and relaxes in nature. With the onset of darkness, everything changes. An evening dress code and the shine of guests' jewelry, night lighting and beautiful music create a festive atmosphere. Invited popular DJs, Greek and European famous artists and entire groups entertain visitors until late at night. And then the dancing and general fun begin until dawn.
The bouzouki (or bouzukya in the plural) is a stringed musical instrument that gives its name to this national phenomenon. The bouzouki is as much a symbol of Greece as democracy, olives or the Olympics. Everyone has heard about bouzouki, but few have actually participated in it. And it's worth it, believe me! Bouzoukya is a bar, a club, a concert, a folk dance, an enchanting show and a bacchanalia - all in one bottle. It is best to go to a bouzouki evening with one of the Greeks - acquaintances or friends. Then you will definitely find yourself in the right place and feel all the nuances of the holiday to the depths of your soul. There is an unspoken ritual and a whole set of unwritten rules. Firstly, you need to dress in all the best, bright and expensive. Ladies in dresses and Louboutins, gentlemen with a tight wallet in their pocket and ladies on their arms. Secondly, prepare yourself mentally for noise, crowds, a thick curtain of cigarette smoke and loud music. Thirdly... you will understand everything on the spot. You will be in for shock, surprise and love/hate bouzoukya for the rest of your life. The evening begins decorously, everyone drinks and eats and watches the performance. Gradually passions heat up, the music gets louder, people shout “Opa!” claps his hands, stomps his feet and gets up from the tables. The bouquet stage, or rather the flower stage, begins. Girls with trays of buds are always ready, the goods sell out with a bang (the price of a tray is from 5 to 20 €, depending on the prestige of the establishment). It is customary to throw the buds at the artists and shower them (the torn petals) on your lady love or pretty neighbor. Such signs of attention are perceived very favorably. The apotheosis of the evening is the clash of dishes and (sometimes) the accompanying destruction of furniture. It’s better to see it at least once, it’s an unforgettable sight. Only after attending a bouzouki evening, you can rightfully say that you have joined the original Greek entertainment. By the way, the bouzoukya stage often spontaneously arises at Greek holidays and parties in the midst of fun. Perhaps you will be lucky enough to find yourself impromptu in the right place.
Fashionable resorts sleepless nights
If the quantity and quality of nightlife comes first on your list of vacation priorities, and the beach and sea are just a way of daytime rehabilitation after a binge, then take a look at our shortlist of fashionable resorts where you will definitely like it.
- Athens and Attica. The capital and neighboring resorts begin to party after midnight, and Athens is rightfully considered the most lively and clubby city in the country. 80% of nightclubs, restaurants and entertainment venues are concentrated in the urban areas of Plaka, Psirri, Thissio and Keramikos. And the most popular bouzoukya establishments can be found in the prestigious metropolitan areas of Glyfada, Kolonaki and Maroussi. Most nightlife activities are available on the Athens Riviera only during the summer season.
- Mykonos. The most cosmopolitan and famous Greek island for sleepless nights. In terms of entertainment intensity and the number of clubs and discos, it is not inferior to Spanish Ibiza. Put the kids to bed, and after 11 pm you'll have fun until the morning. Aristotle Onassis instilled a bohemian taste for life in Mykonos, making the island an “icon” of Mediterranean nightlife. Jean-Paul Gaultier, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and other celebrities made this place famous with their frequent visits. So don't be surprised by local prices for entertainment, food and cocktails. Mykonos is also a magnet for the European gay community. If you are a traditional person, choose your holiday destinations carefully to avoid surprises.
- Zakynthos. “Complete destruction” and “there will be no wounded” - this is how you can describe the nightlife at the island’s resorts in a nutshell. Go around midnight to Laganas (a whole street of nightclubs and the highest density of disco bars), Kalamaki and Argassi. Local Greeks party in clubs and discos in the town of Bohali, and they know the right places.
- Corfu. You can have a great time hanging out in bars and clubs in popular resorts, where there are the most young people in the summer. These are Gouvia, Ipsos, Kavos, Glyfada. Parties from clubs and bars smoothly flow to the beaches, where everyone has fun until the first rays of sun. In the capital of the island, it is better to start your evening visit from the establishments of Liston Square, and then move to the embankment, where the peak of fun occurs long after midnight.
- Crete. On the largest Greek island, nightlife is most vibrant and varied in Heraklion, Hersonissos, Agios Nikolaos, in the resorts of Malia, Sitia, on the beaches of Misiria and Platanias. This is not a complete list of party places. Their greatest concentration is on the central streets of cities and resort embankments.
- Rhodes. The main attraction for the nightlife is the capital of the island, or rather the medieval Old Town (meet at the fountain in the center or at the Soho bar) and its surroundings: Orphanidou Street and the Zephyros district near the port of Akantia. A lot of clubs and discos can be found in Lindos and the resort of Faliraki.
- Kos. This Dodecanese island, like Rhodes, is popular with European nightlife enthusiasts. In the capital there are bars and clubs on Bar street and Navkliru, as well as on the seaport embankment. Other club places are in the resort village of Kardamena. And if this is not enough, Turkish Bodrum with its famous Halicarnassus club is just a stone's throw away.
- Santorini. The capital of the island, Fira, has nightlife options for every taste. From traditional youth discos to rock and jazz clubs, salsa and tango salons. Life is bustling in the central square and in the streets around the Caldera. It is better to look for Bouzoukya clubs and traditional taverns with live Greek music in the resorts of Oia, Kamari and Perissa.
And one piece of advice for the road ahead. If a Greek friend invites you somewhere, even at night, don’t even think about refusing. Even if you are a representative of the fairer sex, you don’t have to worry too much about your honor. The Greeks for the most part are unobtrusive, but the guides are excellent. You will have a chance to see the most interesting and beautiful places where tourists are not yet taken, and feel Greece like a dear guest. But what new “friends” you need to avoid are seasonal migrants, including those working in the tourist service sector. They come from Albania, North Africa and the Middle East. Before you know it, you will be left, at best, without money. This public cleverly pretends to be Greek, but only inexperienced tourists fall for the bait.
Greece has everything except crisis. When you see how much money the Greeks spend on their entertainment and party like it’s the last time, you too will want to live and enjoy the Greek way.
It turned out that Ibiza is the most popular, but far from the only resort for lovers of a noisy holiday. There were nine of them on the final list - which one will you choose?
1. Ibiza, Spain
A small island in the Mediterranean Sea, the mention of which makes every clubber’s heart beat faster. It is famous for its wild parties, free morals and a diverse contingent - from “celebrities” living in luxury hotels to those who went on holidays and spent the night on the beach, from young people to European pensioners who decided to shake off the old days... Representatives of sexual minorities are also welcome here, who shock the unprepared public with their outfits and hairstyles.
1 /1
The "party" centers of the island are San Antonio and the capital Ibiza. Among the residents and invited guests of Ibiza clubs are Paul van Dyk, Fatboy Slim, Paris Hilton, Will Atkinson, David Guetta and other popular performers.
One of the most famous clubs not only in Ibiza, but also in the world is Amnesia (located near San Rafael), opened back in 1976. Alternative options: DC-10, which is located near the airport, Destino on Talamanca Beach, Eden on the San Antonio seafront, Heart in Ibiza City. Entrance tickets cost from €15, cocktails - up to €20. An integral part of Ibiza's club culture are the discos on boats that go out to sea every night from the towns of San Antonio, Ibiza and Playa d'en Bossa.
During the day (if, of course, you have enough strength after a stormy night) you can relax on one of the beaches (there are about 18 kilometers of them, there are also nudist ones), check out the hippie market next to Platja es Canar, go diving or windsurfing, and visit the Old Town of Ibiza . In the evening, enjoy the sunset (they say they are one of the most beautiful in the world), and then dive back into the maelstrom of crazy parties!
How to get there? Bus No. 10 departs from the airport every 15-30 minutes and goes to the bus station in Ibiza (ticket costs €3.5). During the season, additional buses are launched to the main resorts of the island. After midnight, you can only leave the airport for the capital by taxi.
2. Ayia Napa, Cyprus
The abundance of nightclubs, discos and bars, where tourists and Cypriots party all night long, is the reason why the resort is nicknamed “the second Ibiza”. The city has a club district, where most of the entertainment venues are concentrated. The most famous clubs in Ayia Napa: Starskys (the best theme parties are held here), The Castle, Car Wash, Black and White and Red Square, where tourists from the CIS like to relax. We recommend checking out the Crazy Frog bar, which is famous for its huge portions of cocktails and fiery animators.
1 /1
If you want to spend a day or two in a more relaxed pace, visit the main historical attractions of the resort - the monastery and rock tombs of Makronissos. Near Cape Greco there is a National Park with hiking and cycling routes.
Have you decided to bask in the sun and take a swim? ideal for these purposes, because the local beaches are regularly awarded the Blue Flag for cleanliness. The most popular is Nissi, where there is no crowd during the season; the beaches of Landa, Grecian Bay and Makronissos are less crowded. Fans of active recreation can go diving, surfing, ride a catamaran, jet ski or yacht, or go fishing.
How to get there? The nearest international airport is in the vicinity of Larnaca, 35 kilometers from the resort. From there you can get to Ayia Napa by bus for €7-10 or taxi for €50-60. You will spend from 40 minutes to an hour and a half on the way.
3. Heraklion, Greece
In the largest city of Crete, nightlife is in full swing. In the center, on Korai Street, there are coffee shops. On Chandakos Street, which abuts the embankment, there are bars of different types: here you can listen to rock, Latin, Greek melodies... On Sophocles Venizelos Street there are nightclubs with summer areas, from where you can admire the sunrise to the accompaniment of fashion hits. The Island of Desire and Loft clubs are considered the best; for creative cocktails, we recommend going to the Trito bar, The Bitters, Wets & Drys or Stone Cocktail.
1 /1
Peninsula (28 kilometers from Heraklion) and Malia (34 kilometers from Heraklion) are also famous for their lively nightlife. During the season, famous DJs perform in clubs in these cities. Another party resort nearby is Agia Pelagia (18 kilometers from Heraklion), where it is calmer, but no less fun.
Do not forget that Crete is not only a resort island, but also the cradle of the Minoan civilization, which existed in the 2nd century BC. Parties are parties, but not setting aside a few days for sightseeing is an unfortunate omission. We recommend visiting the Archaeological Museum, which is one of the best in the world, and seeing the ruins of the Palace of Knossos (the labyrinth that gave rise to the myth of the Minotaur, Theseus and the Thread of Ariadne).
But there are no beaches in Heraklion. To sunbathe, you will have to go, for example, to Ammoudara Beach (5 kilometers from the center of the capital).
How to get there? Six kilometers from Heraklion is the Nikos Kazantzakis International Airport. You can get from there to the capital by bus or taxi (from €20). Ships ply between the ports of Athens and Heraklion; a ticket costs from €50 to €160, and you will spend about 9 hours on the journey.
4. St Julian's, Malta
The town of Paceville, which has actually merged with St. Julian's, is considered the party capital of the country. It consists of bars, restaurants, clubs and discos, there is a casino and the largest cinema. The fun in Paceville doesn't stop until dawn; you can always find a place to drink and dance. Nightlife is concentrated on four streets around the central square: Dragonara Road, Wilga Street, St Georges Road and St. Rita Steps.
1 /1
Avid party-goers recommend visiting the clubs Havana, Hugo's Passion, Axis, Fuego, Barfunk, The Alley and Sabor. They play music of different styles, so everyone will find an establishment to their liking. Hugo's Terrace bar on St. Beach invites you to relax after a stormy night. George's Bay is the only sandy beach in the vicinity of St. Julian's.
When planning your itinerary for a walk around the city, include the watchtower and barracks of St. George, the Dragonara Palace, where the casino is now located, and several interesting temples, for example, St. Julian's Parish church or Immaculate Conception church.
How to get there? There is an X2 bus from Malta International Airport to St Julian's, the ticket costs €2. A taxi will cost you from €20.
5. Riccione, Italy
This resort town on the Adriatic coast has the best nightclubs and discos in the Italian province of Rimini. The most fashionable of them are concentrated on the hill, and the beach area on the border with in the evenings is filled with young people who like to party under the stars on the seashore.
1 /1
The best 80s-style discos are Byblos, Villa delle Rose and Peter Pan. International hits are played at the Cocoricò disco, and you can dance to Latin American tunes at the Palacio de la Salsa. In the vicinity of the beach, in the area called Marano, there are fashionable clubs Moijto Beach, Operà, Sbronzo, Palma, El Mexicali.
The most popular entertainment in Riccione after partying is shopping. Look for fashionable new items from Armani, Trussardi, D&G, Guess and other luxury brands on Ceccarini Street, and shoes by Italian designers on Dante Street.

There are also historical sights: Villa Francesca, Villa Mussolini, the Congress Palace, Castello degli Agolanti in the vicinity of the city... Fans of modern art will appreciate the collection of the local art gallery, and those who are partial to the affairs of bygone days are invited to the Archaeological Museum of Riccione.

6. Lloret de Mar, Spain
A popular seaside resort 70 kilometers from Barcelona, the “party capital” of the Costa Brava. The atmosphere is democratic, here you can meet freaks of all stripes and representatives of sexual minorities. The most popular discos: St Trop’, Revolution, Salero, Londoner, Nidara S.I., Constur S.I., Tropics, Bumper’s, Hollywood Dance Club, Moby’s, Privet de Magic, Gerry’s Bar, La Siesta. Most are open 24 hours a day, giving it a reputation as a resort that never sleeps. Beach Parties are regularly held on boats cruising along the coast.
1 /1
The best places to sunbathe and swim are the beaches of Lloret, Canyelles, Santa Cristina and Fenals; we also recommend visiting the Water World water park. If you want to diversify your stay at the resort, go to the Sant Joan fortress, the Santa Clotilde gardens, the local historical cemetery or the cat museum.
How to get there? There is an international airport 90 kilometers from the resort. The fastest way to get to Lloret is to take a taxi (about €150). An economy option is a bus (from €15), which does not run at night.

The Bio Bio Club and Camelot Club play hits of the 80s and are a popular place for older people to relax. The Temple and Saloon Cafe bars invite you to have a drink.
1 /1
You won’t be bored during the day either: Hersonissos has excellent beaches (the best of them are Drepanos and Star Beach) and two water parks. If you decide to learn more about the city's glorious history, go on a walk that includes the Roman port, the ruins of ancient theaters and the basilica. Excursions to other parts of Crete are also in demand, for example, to the ancient city of Gortyn with Minoan caves or to the island of Spinalonga, where the ruins of Venetian fortresses are preserved.
How to get there? Six kilometers from Heraklion is the Nikos Kazantzakis International Airport. You can go to Hersonissos by taxi (about €35) or come to the capital’s train station, from where buses go to the resort (you will spend about 45 minutes on the way, the ticket costs about €4).
Greece is a country with a long tourism history; even during the Soviet era, travel to Greece was mandatory for the Soviet elite to maintain their status. Now Greece remains one of the most popular resorts among Russian citizens, although according to the ratings of travel companies, Greece is still beginning to lose its position, giving way to more budget destinations such as Turkey and Egypt.
What is attractive about holidays in Greece? Greece is a country with a rich history and tourists often come here to visit historical places and combine excursions with relaxation on the beach, which is well developed in Greece.
But the presence of cultural recreation does not make Greece a place where recreation is possible only for older people. There are places where young people will find it interesting to relax in Greece.
How to get to Greece
To vacation in Greece, a Russian tourist needs to obtain a short-term visa - this is a type C visa, up to 30 days of stay in the country. The receipt and execution of such a document takes place at the official representation of Greece in the Russian Federation.
Where to go for young people, 5 best places
Holidays in Greece for young people are quite varied. An unforgettable holiday for all lovers of a fun pastime is the island of Crete. The small island is completely dotted with bars, taverns and hotels on the shore itself. A great place to have fun without leaving the sea. Where should young people go to the sea in Greece? Of course Crete! The best place is the town of Malia.
Hersonissos is another chic resort for young people. Great place, although a little expensive. There are a large number of Irish pubs here, which are constantly open until dawn, and local discos will not leave anyone indifferent.
is an island created for active young people who are passionate about water sports; there are great opportunities for divers, excellent waves for surfing and an excellent sandy beach for girls who just want to sunbathe.
The island is an ideal place for nightlife, discos and beach parties, clubs and DJ sets from world stars - all this can be found in the capital of nightlife of Greece, on the island of Mykonos.
If we talk about the mainland of Greece, then the resorts of Glyfada and Vouliagmeni are suitable for young people; at these resorts you rarely see people over thirty. Spectacular late-night parties in coastal bars and restaurants take place almost every night.
Youth holidays in Greece, where to go and where not.
We discussed above the places where a vacation would be wonderful for young people, but where should you not go? The town is quite boring in terms of parties; it is very beautiful here, but too calm for young people. Another place with a fairly relaxing holiday is the island of Corfu. There are no big and noisy parties here, and the main contingent are people escaping from work and the bustle.
Thinking about a good vacation, every future vacationer imagines in advance what exactly he wants to get from a few days of complete relaxation somewhere in a warm country on an all-inclusive basis. Many people come for impressions, the opportunity to engage in their favorite sea sports, or simply bask in the sun. In addition to beach resorts, Greece has a lot of party places for different tastes and budgets. If you want to combine all imaginable types of “doing nothing” while on vacation abroad, you can apply for a visa and book tickets to Greece.
Youth holidays in Greece
The ancient land of Hellas is rightly considered a tourist paradise.
Greece creates all the conditions for the most comfortable holiday for young people:
Features of the seasons

Crete
Island resorts and beaches have long been on the lips of lovers of quality recreation.
Malia offers vacationers magnificent beaches with warm sand and gentle sea with comfortable beaches equipped with everything necessary and a lot of cafes.
On a note! In Chania, you can alternate a pleasant, varied holiday with learning the Greek language at special courses.

Rhodes
The island is a real paradise for fans of water and land sports, it has:
- excellent diving;
- surfing;
- water skiing;
- golf;
- boat racing;
- Beach volleyball;
- tennis.
Local resorts attract with a combination of active and relaxing holidays on the beaches of the coast.
Faliraki - local hotels are built right on the coast, a calm, quiet fishing village in the evenings and nights turns into a platform for a bright celebration, a huge club party under the bottomless southern sky with massive street dancing until dawn.
The resort is among the places where young people can have a fun holiday in Greece. Experts say that humanity has not yet come up with a type of recreation that would be absent in the town.
Kallithea - place of silence, peace, solitude. There are several mineral springs with healing water, magnificent beaches, and amazing nature.
Kallithea Beach
Mykonos - a prestigious cool place, the center of nightlife, celebrity performances, an endless celebration. At night there is a lot of fun in the nightclubs, during the day you can relax in the water park, there is a nudist beach.
Note! In terms of the level of entertainment events, Mykonos competes on equal terms with Fr. iOS, but it is less promoted.
Corfu
Young people will find everything they need for a good holiday in Dasia, Moraitika, Arachavi, Ipsos.
Mainland holiday centers
In the suburbs of the Greek capital, there are, according to experienced tourists, the most fashionable party places in Greece.
Glyfada (15 km from Athens) - the town has almost no equal in Greece in terms of elegance and chic. Coastal infrastructure is one of the most expensive in the world. It is no coincidence that the second name of the area is “Attic Riviera”.
Vouliagmeni (25 km from the capital) - the resort place is a wonderful natural health resort due to the abundance of coniferous and eucalyptus forests.
The beaches of Kavouri, Attiki-Akti and Asteria-Volimenis are paid, as are the vast majority of urban beach areas. The coasts are well-groomed, there are playgrounds with animators, gentle sandy slopes lead into the sea, and there is a lot of shallow water.
Economical holiday
The vast majority of young people are more interested in budget holidays - students, young professionals, young families can rarely afford large expenses for foreign trips. Youth holidays in Greece, where everyone wants to go during the high season, do not necessarily involve significant expenses - here you can find accommodation in hotels with a minimum of services, or use hostels in resort areas that are not very popular for mass tourism.
A modest budget will allow you to purchase a holiday tour in hotels on the Halkidiki peninsula or to Sithonia.
Gorgeous nature, the warm Aegean Sea, a moderately miserable climate, an abundance of food outlets with reasonable prices are the undoubted advantages of a local economical holiday.
Hersonissos has economical housing prices, but there are problems with accommodation during the high holiday season. Hersonissos, like many youth resorts in Greece, has long been firmly occupied by Russian youth - Russian speech is heard everywhere here.
The resort of Rethymno is considered a paradise for gourmets; the town has amazingly tasty and inexpensive cuisine.

Youth hangouts
In addition to impressive local attractions and beach holidays, young tourists are most attracted to the party resorts of Greece.
The most popular places are included in a kind of rating of Greek parties, but the ratings do not always correspond to reality - the human factor affects them.
Kallithea (Chalkidiki) - a continuous holiday with laser shows and fireworks. Popular clubs - Pearl Clube, Circo, Aqua. The premises are equipped with retractable roofs, so that visitors are simultaneously within the walls of the club and in the fresh air.
The central part of Laganas on the island of Zakynthos and Kavos, informally called the Greek Ibiza, can also be considered the best party spots in Greece.
In Laganas, young people settle right in the city center, overpopulated with bars, discos and clubs. The largest is Rescue Club, there are 3 dance floors and dozens of bars. On one of the streets of the resort there are two dozen clubs - it’s not for nothing that the street is called the local Broadway.
Kavos is a holiday destination for overly active English tourists. “Greek Ibiza” has a vibrant nightlife with massive foam parties and festivals of colors. The most spacious local club is FUTURE, where energetic music and fiery dancing thunder until the morning.
Ipsos in Corfu captivates lovers of beach parties, right by the water, with retro music, an abundance of themed parties in the best local club B52.
Party in Mykonos
The most party island in Greece is Mykonos, but not everyone can afford the club prices here; some of the pretentiousness of the place confuses us. The most famous DJs in the world host discotheques in local clubs. The Cavo Paradiso Beach Club is consistently ranked among the world's best establishments of this type.
It will be useful for newcomers to resort holidays to learn in advance some useful information about the country and area where they will soon have to go on holiday.
- If you plan to spend active time on vacation, it is better to relax in a 2* hotel or hostel. In such places, accommodation includes breakfast, so you can save a little on food.
- Getting around the area is cheaper and more convenient using local public transport.
- All regions where active youth can relax in Greece have well-established transport connections, which will make it possible to quickly move from one party to another in neighboring cities.
- In Greece there is a time of “general hibernation”: every day during the day, life in the state comes to a standstill. All work stops, the country waits out its hottest hours. You won't be able to go on an excursion or go shopping.
- In resort recreation areas and food outlets, staff communicate in English; a language barrier may arise with other foreign languages.
- Punctuality and commitment are not the hallmarks of a nation; this should be taken into account when communicating with local residents.
Young people are easy-going, rarely looking for comfort and convenience even on vacation. A trip to Greece will be an unforgettable episode, will leave warm memories, and will call you back to the dazzling sun, parties and gorgeous beaches an infinite number of times.
