Athens Nightlife

Athens is a live city full of lights and a nightlife known worldwide not only in terms of entertainment and fun but also because its bars and pubs stay open till late at night or in other words... early in the morning! There is an abundance of night clubs, bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from. You can start your night early by having a cup of coffee in one of the trendy cafes of Kolonaki, Thisio or Plaka, then move on with dinner at one of the restaurants having been awarded the "Toque D' Or" or other wise stated, the golden chef's cap. There are many restaurants in Athens with this award since the Greek chefs are known for their creativity and talent in preparing tasty dishes. If you don't like gourmet restaurants you can always eat some souvlaki or have some "mezedes", meaning Greek snacks accompanied by ouzo in one of the traditional ouzeri of the city. After dinner you can have your first drinks at a small bar in Psiri and then the Athenian night awaits you with a night to remember at the famous "bouzoukia", a trend only found in Greece. There you will have the opportunity to see famous Greek singers perform live with an orchestra and ballets of beautiful dancers, throw carnations and dance on the tables having the time of your lives! After a wild night of endless fun you can have a little something to eat in one of the little restaurants which stay open 24 hours a day especially for people coming from the bouzoukia and then go to bed planning the next day... or night! As an alternative choice take Athens by night tour first and then go to the bouzoukia.
