Fun and entertainment Greece

Opened for more than thirty years, it is still the same person at the head of the place, which has built up a good customer base. At Tropical bar, there is a small indoor room, with stone walls, but above all a pretty terrace overlooking the bay, which will delight you in the middle of the night. We stay awake all night to the rhythm of old hits, rock and soul mainly but the playlists change every day. Cocktails, by the way, bear the names of the greatest: you can order a Hendrix, for example.

Located in a street adjacent to the Liston, this bar deserves to be known. The terrace is set in the heart of old Corfu. This pleasant café - and less expensive than the palace of the same name in Paris - is pleasant during the day for its jazz or lounge music, then it turns into a lively bar in the evening, literally taken over by Corfu students. The cocktails are delicious: try the very original one made with kumquat liqueur, a specialty of the island! It's called the "kumquat o'clock", and it's a real treat!

This blue bar, located in the centre of Paleohora, in one of the busiest and most lively streets of the city, is open all year round with the Nikos twirl. To take away or to consume on the spot, installed around the tables in front of the establishment, you can enjoy your coffee, a fresh fruit juice, a beer, a cocktail, some snacks or salads. This is the place to come if you want to mix with the locals and watch the Formula 1 races or the football matches of your favourite clubs. Always friendly.

Huge nightclub, located in Platanias, close to the beach and which has been making clubbers happy for more than 25 years. Probably the most famous club in Crete, but behave yourself: the staff and the bouncers are fed up with tourists who drink too much and behave badly. This is a very popular nightclub for the locals and very lively. If you are respectful, there should be no problem at the entrance. During the day, there is also a beach bar that rents sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach.

One of the bars in the center where you can have your breakfast in the morning, your coffee in the afternoon and your cocktail in the evening. It is one of the nicest and most exclusive bars in the city, with its wooded decor, lounge music and mixed clientele of Greeks and tourists. It also serves snacks and nibbles. Agios Bar won the prize for the best cocktail in Crete in 2020! It is a meeting place, a social and cheerful place in the center of the village, with a very good quality of service and well-made liquors.

The Rock is a small bar with a terrace overlooking the port, heading towards the landing stage. We go there in the second part of the evening to have a last drink and share a cocktail, just to change the ouzo of the ouzeries of the port. Also open during the day, you can have coffee and eat a few mezzedes. But it is above all the bar where you come to sleep when the others are about to close because Babis is open even out of season. A real Lipsi institution.

Probably the best equipped disco on the island, but also the most expensive. Music configuration.

It is the late night bar in the village, sometimes staying open until dawn. In the 1950s setting of its only room, this bar founded in 1991 brings together people from all walks of life. For the record, it's an old butcher's shop, and you can still see the butcher's hooks. DJs and jazz bands take turns all summer long. Very practical, you can eat sandwiches there when you feel a little peckish at midnight. A friendly address to party.

Mykonos is the island of the festival: it's only natural that its Chora is well stocked with possibilities for outings! Here one comes to enjoy the setting sun and cocktails with one's feet in the water. This pastel blue and white bar, facing the sea on the side of Little Venice, is one of the most pleasant bars. The clientele is mostly Athenian and crowds there to see and be seen. If the restaurant is expensive and not worth the detour, try a cocktail at sunset. It is a must in Little Venice.

In the heart of Petite Venice, a bar bar where the atmosphere is heated well before the rest of the city: at 22 p. m. the podium is crowded and assourdissante music.

Thira's biggest nightclub with a beautiful outdoor bar around a palm tree and beautiful vaulted rooms inside. Elevated stage for a huge party night: 2,000 people per night in the summer. If the nightclub officially closes at 6am, it often empties from 3am. Otherwise, the atmosphere is very good and appreciated by the visitors. The musical program is pleasant and the place, beautiful and airy, has a part of the club in the open air. The drinks are just a little expensive afterwards (especially the cocktails).

You can stay all day in this popular spot for the local youth. There is a different atmosphere at every hour of the day in this beautiful beachfront location, with extremely helpful and friendly staff. Juices and coffees to discover, as well as its deckchairs. Excellent beach beer and cocktails in the evening, with international music, usually with two guest DJs per night. In short, a good atmosphere to discover in one or more times depending on the time. Sandwiches, toasts, snacks and cooked dishes only during the day from 9am to 6pm.

A design place easily recognizable with its pink colors. It serves cocktails but also steaks, burgers, poultry... Plasma TV, dancing, DJ... The place opened in Laganas in the summer of 2006 and has been dancing (almost) non-stop ever since. This popular place for young people has a total capacity of 1,000 people and hosts international events and DJs from all over the world. It is also possible to eat there and reserve a table. Upcoming program and menus to be discovered online!

This cafe offers a billiard table and video games.

This Internet cafe is lost in one of the pedestrian streets of the old town; you can connect to the Internet to find your way to a little more population. It will cost you around 3 € of the connected hour.

A bar as you will see a lot on the seafront. This is very expensive, but the atmosphere is explosive… A DJ mixing every night from 22 h. Techno and house mainly.

There are plenty of options for going out and having a drink: Naoussa is renowned throughout Paros and beyond for its trendy bars where, here too, you won't escape the cocktail trend! This modernly-decorated bar-club is a must for the local nightlife. On two levels and with a small terrace overlooking the port of Naoussa, you will spend memorable evenings with all the trendy youth of the island. Calm and peaceful atmosphere in the early evening and then the room catches fire later in the night.

Winter and summer alike, this trendy café is a favourite with Corfiotes. As we walked by, we noticed that its outdoor terrace was always busy. And we quickly understand why! The view on the bay and the old fort of Corfu is irresistible. The coffee is very good, and the breakfasts too! Try the feta cheese omelette for example, it's very tasty. The café serves snacks all day, burgers, huge salads and excellent sandwiches. If you are with your family, the children can play in the nearby park.

A bar in the center of Fiskardo, in a beautiful pre-earthquake house on a pedestrian street. It's the ideal place to sip a cocktail, watch a soccer match or live concerts, depending on the day. The establishment offers excellent cocktails and refreshing drinks. We recommend the house lemonade. The prices are right and the waiters friendly. It's also a rare place in Fiskardo where people can play and hear live music. It's easy to see why it's a meeting place for the local youth!

A good dozen computers to keep in touch with your friends by email.

Charming address for rock lovers independent of Exarchia district.

It includes the latest tubes from Britain, with ouzo or beer. The place is frequented by regulars and meetings are full of surprises.

You can connect to one of the 20 computers and play video games. The reception is rather unpleasant, but it's not sure you can find another cafe in town.

This private contemporary art museum, nestled in an elegant neoclassical house in Plaka, also houses a nice café. In this interesting little museum you can discover works by contemporary Greek and international artists. You will not need to pay the entrance (6 €) if you want to take only a espresso inside, next to the museum shop.

Animated marina on the south coast of Athens, lined with cafés, bars and restaurants.

A classic, a great atmosphere. Good location, near the sea.

This cocktail bar is renowned for the quality of its alcohol blends and its convoluted aesthetics, a little overloaded and sometimes bordering on ridiculous. Indeed, here we don't take ourselves too seriously, and it's refreshing. Pleasantly located on the port of Kos-ville, one comes there in the early evening to enjoy an aperitif and to watch passers-by, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Later, as the night progresses, the evenings take a more festive turn and the volume rises, while remaining pleasant. An address appreciated by all.

Right on the water, this charming little café offers excellent breakfasts: espresso or cappuccino, fresh orange juice, omelettes, pancakes... It is often taken by storm and it is easy to see why. Sitting in its lovely sofas, you can enjoy the view of the port of Kioni, which looks magnificent and idyllic. In the evening the establishment is just as pleasant and you can sip excellent cocktails, or, to be more in the Greek tradition, aperitif alcohols like ouzo, tsipouro, often accompanied by small mezzedes.

This traditional kafeneio has been installed on the docks since the 1980s. It remains open all year round and is therefore not exclusively oriented towards tourism. We sit there for hours on the terrace to drink coffee and watch the boats and the world pass by. Very good homemade mezzedes are available: perfect for a light lunch break or to accompany the ouzo at the end of the day. Café Elpida is also famous for its good desserts and friendly atmosphere. Greek coffee is prepared according to the rules of the art.

One of the many cafés along the Liston: this beautiful café has a large terrace overlooking the Spianada, Corfu's large park, which is a very pleasant spot in all seasons. The atmosphere is friendly, and Corfiotes are happy to mingle with tourists for long evenings! It's one of the town's most popular - and often fully booked - places to enjoy a coffee or glass of wine at any time of day. You can sit for hours and watch the crowds go by on their way to and from the beach and the old town.

This modern café, popular with the locals, is located in Chora opposite the mills. The pleasant shaded terrace is ideal for a cool break during the day or for fresh air after dark. The place is famous for its breakfast: try the very good homemade pougia , the typical filled breads of Astypalaia. You can also order an espresso or a cappuccino freddo worthy of the name. Finally, the desserts and sweets are outstanding, perfect for a snack. This is one of the few places that remains open all year round.

The Apollo Theatre, also known as the "Piccola Scala", is the jewel of the cultural life of Syros and more broadly of the Cyclades. Opened in 1864 to the plans of an Italian architect inspired by the Milan Opera House, the Apollo offers a quality programme of opera, concerts and dramatic theatre. The theatre was closed for renovation for many years. Since its reopening in 2000, it has been a pillar of cultural life on the islands. Feel free to take a seat to see a show in the tense red velvet room.

This small café-bar is one of the most authentic on the island and has managed to maintain its relaxed and jovial atmosphere despite the tourist and bobo boom of recent years. Located opposite the church of Maltezana, one comes here to socialise quietly over a real Greek coffee during the day and over a carafe of ouzo or raki in the evening. The accompanying mezzedes are very good, so don't hesitate to order again and again, especially considering the low prices. Some evenings, the atmosphere is festive when a few notes of rebetiko are played.

This beach bar is located on Lambi beach, next to the Artemis hotel. Here, you can enjoy deckchairs and umbrellas free of charge, as long as you consume something. There's plenty to choose from: breakfast, daytime snacks, cold coffee or cocktails... Lounge atmosphere, with a DJ at the turntables providing the kind of background music typical of this type of establishment "à la Mykonos". Live music events and concerts are regularly organized on certain evenings in high season.

You are in Sokratous Street, in the old Ottoman quarter, one of the busiest and certainly the most touristy streets in the old city. To flee, a priori! However, this small old café is a historical institution not to be missed. Paradoxically calm in these places, one drinks a real Turkish coffee, in full Ottoman immersion. It is also a kind of cabinet of curiosities, a real capernaum where you will find lots of small treasures. We will smoke the chicha there while admiring the pebble mosaic floors and letting time pass by.

Platanos is pleasantly located on the square of the famous Hippocratic tree. We appreciate its terraced tables, set in a paradoxically quiet setting given the central and tourist location of this establishment. We like to come for coffee or a drink in the evening, in the cool, to watch the world go by. The café-bistro often organizes concerts, especially jazz concerts. You can also have lunch or dinner there: it is a good quality table, which offers dishes a little more refined than the average tavern.

This cinema, named "The Noble of Kifissia", is the oldest open-air cinema in Greece and is located in the chic suburb of Kifissia! The first screening took place in 1918 and this emblematic cinema has become a real cultural institution! Currently, it can accommodate 450 spectators who flock in season! The choice of films can satisfy any public but in general one prefers here the films for cinephiles and unconditional of the seventh art. They are in the original version, most often in English and sometimes in French.

This pretty and pleasant café is located at the exit of Chora, on the road that leads to Livadia: the view on the back of the kastro is magnificent from the shaded and serene terrace. Not to mention, of course, the panoramas of the blue waves that stretch as far as the eye can see. We come here especially for its desserts and other sweet creations, famous throughout the island, with good reason! Another major asset of this friendly place: its ideal location to see the full moon rise on the fortress. A magical moment not to be missed, if you have the opportunity

This is the cocktail bar you need, set up on the harbour, in an otherwise ideal location to admire a beautiful naxiote sunset. Open from morning to night, the Lemon bar never stops bringing its warm terrace to life in colour... Indeed, you can't miss the place: its chairs, tables, posters and even its employees are dressed in pink. For quite honest prices, you can enjoy a wide variety of good cocktails, alcoholic or not. Also keep the place in mind for a little coffee!

An incredible bar by the sea. At the very end of the pier, here's where to find excellent cocktails and fresh fruit juices. Exceptional vantage point, with views of the port on one side and the open sea on the other... Admittedly, the coffees are more expensive than elsewhere and the service not always up to scratch. But this is a place to pay for yourself, and there's something for everyone. What's more, you can relax here at any time. In the morning, breakfast is tasty. In the evening, you can enjoy an aperitif in front of the sunset, sometimes with live music.

This bar-crêperie-tea house at the beginning of the harbour is often noticeable by the length of the queue in front of it. If you don't come to Paxos for its nightlife, you'll soon find consolation in the food. This adorable café offers excellent ice cream and homemade pastries. The crepes, while not up to the standard of Brittany, are a real treat, and the homemade ice creams are delicious. The coffee - hot or cold - is also worth the detour, especially since everything is served, most of the time, with a smile.

We're so happy to find a (real) espresso in the old town! Here, a few tables overlook one of Corfu's quietest and most pleasant squares. A small inner courtyard, to the left of the bar, is very pleasant and shady. A relaxing atmosphere, with a little music, and very comfortable seats. A beautiful courtyard, with a huge fan when the heat is on. Coffee and drinks are reasonably priced, and the staff are very friendly. And if it's too hot, try the iced tea, not bad either...

At the foot of the Esplanade ramparts, a great place to eat and dance. A good atmosphere with a view of Corfu Fort, good cocktails, house and techno music. The food is good, well presented and reasonably priced. On some evenings, a DJ is present, so you can get straight on with the evening. The bar is on two levels, elegant and close to the sea, so you can dance to international hits well into the night. In summer, a lively and exceptional atmosphere is guaranteed!

This new one among the beach bars of the Women Riviera tries to reproduce the atmosphere of the islands. In the face of the sea, with mezzedes and ouzo, but also some more classical dishes and cocktails worthy of this name, the evening can extend to the early morning, to the rhythms of music. The staff is sometimes not very attentive, but just accept to take its time… as on the islands!

The Vouliagmenis yacht club has this all day café-restaurant which spreads its tables almost on the water. Here you can sip delicious freddocinos or other iced drinks while watching the sunset! But it is also possible to nibble on delicious snacks, like the homemade club sandwich, or more refined dishes. The must: take a dip in the bay after your meal! In the later hours, you can enjoy the fresh sea breeze while sipping a drink or cocktail.

Since its opening more than 25 years ago, the Island has established itself as the spot on the Riviera. Situated on a rock overlooking the sea, the club is a favourite with the young Athenian night owls, with a decor that mimics the atmosphere of the islands and never lets you down. The best Greek and international DJs play a wide range of music, but it is the electro style that prevails towards the end of the night. The dress code is free, you can go as you please.

One of the most popular clubs on the Women Riviera, it attracts local stars and football players! At the beginning of the evening, international music and early morning music, Greek music takes Over for the delight of the Greek people. Idyllic setting by sea, wide space and beautiful furnishings. You can eat in the restaurant before opening the club - the view is breathtaking, but it is relatively expensive.

Overlooking the beach and the coast, in the shade of tall trees, the all day café/bistro Notos, with a full view of the Saronic Gulf, is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the beaches. Inside or on the edge of the planted promenade, under the parasols, the atmosphere is pleasant and very relaxing. Sitting comfortably around a table, you can have a coffee, a refreshment, an aperitif or a light meal, right by the sea. Below, on the beach, there is a playground for children. Free parking.

It bears its name in all simplicity on the eponymous promenade. On this esplanade, which looks like the Rue de Rivoli, the prices are not the same as in Paris, however, and the atmosphere is undoubtedly a little more relaxed. Despite a well-stocked menu, we must admit that we prefer to come here for a drink, to chat and to watch life go by. It's ideal at the end of the evening and practical when waiting for the bus to go to Kanoni or before the taxi to the airport for example. The place is also worth a visit for its breakfasts.

It's an ideallylocated kafeneio where Chora locals and visitors alike love to gather. A magical moment to share in a magnificent setting, at the foot of the citadel and facing the infinite sea. In the shade of the tall trees, you can sit on the terrace for a cup of café frappé at the end of the day, or a glass of tsipouro after dark. It's also a great place to watch the sunset in peace and quiet. To round things off, you can share a few tasty dishes and mezzedes .

From the outside, you will only see a medieval building with an austere appearance. But go through the carriage entrance and enter the world of Macau. Here is the trendy bar-booth of the old town where people flock to show themselves, sip a cocktail at the counter of the inner courtyard, in a chic and festive atmosphere, before dancing until the end of the night to eclectic music. House lovers will be happy to know that this is the preferred style of the house. You will come across everything Rhodes does, from beautiful nightclubs in heels to slick golden boys.
