Where the nights are

Mykonos is the headline: beach clubs through the afternoon, bars in the old town at night. Ios is the classic young island-hopping party stop. Zakynthos, Corfu, Rhodes, Kos and Crete each have a resort strip built for late nights, usually well away from the quieter parts of the island. Athens runs all year; in summer much of the scene moves to the coast of the Athens Riviera.

How it works

The season is short. Most beach clubs and island bars open from late spring to September, and a place that is packed in August can be closed in October. Beach clubs are daytime venues first: sunbeds, food and music that builds towards sunset. Late means late. Island bars fill after midnight. Bouzoukia — venues with live Greek popular music — are a night out of their own, especially in Athens and Thessaloniki.
