Island nightlife: from beach clubs to village bars
The back story
About Island nightlife: from beach clubs to village bars
Island nights start late: dinner at nine or ten, bars after eleven, clubs after one.
The big nights
Mykonos has the most famous nightlife; Ios is the party island for a young crowd; Santorini’s Fira has busy bars.
Stylish evenings
Naoussa on Paros and Naxos Town offer cocktails and a lively but relaxed scene.
In the islands, the night begins when the dinner plates are cleared.
Quiet islands
Folegandros, Sifnos and Amorgos are for long dinners and village squares.
Our advice: book the famous venues ahead in high season, pace yourself in the heat, and use licensed taxis or the late buses.
