Music entertainment in Greece

  1. A

    Art House

    Go up the old stair and open the door to the party at standing-room-only Art House, full of dark curves and Vulcan tints in the arches, mottled walls and worn wood floors. Music is funk and Eurohouse, the clientele mid-twenties.

  2. Orange Bar

    A more easy-paced music bar playing rock, indie and Brit-pop just outside the war zone.

    Flou

    What the French call Bobo (bohemian bourgoise, darling) characterises this cosy bar on a White Tower sidestreet. Exuding neon and a je ne sais quoi eclectic retro décor, Flou gets packed on weekends with an early-thirties crowd and plays a shameless selection of vintage pop.

  5. Club Katoi

    While the rest of Delphi sleeps, a few main-street clubs provide plenty of dancing into the wee hours. Club Katoi is opposite the BP petrol station on Vasileon Pavlou & Friderikis, will throw in a drink with the price of admission.

    Colorado Entertainment Centre

    The Colorado consists of six venues in one - Studio Fame, Heaven Club R'n'B, Colorado Live, Förfesten, Swedco Café and IN 4 U Music Bar - and is more fun than you can shake your rear end at.

    Guernica

    A great combination of traditional décor and contemporary music make this one of Iraklio's hippest bar/cafés. The rambling old building has a delightful terrace garden for the summer.

    Ananta

    With its shadows and a long bar set under an upward-curving, bare stone ceiling, the Ananta smacks of a Franciscan monastery - albeit one powered by rock music and alcohol.

    Elvis

    This DJ bar on the waterfront plays more interesting music than most of Nikis' bars; next door Thermaïkos is a hipster standby that gets full and hypnotic late.

  10. Pyli Axiou

    For a somewhat baser experience of contemporary Greek culture, give in to the frenetic, bouzouki-driven fun at one of Thessaloniki's most popular bouzoukia.

    Kalua

    This established downtown club plays mainstream music and the odd Greek disco hit and usually rocks till dawn. Don't bother getting there before midnight.

    Fortezza Disco

    The town's veteran disco is big and flashy with three bars, a laser show and an international crowd that starts drifting in around midnight.

    Flip Side

    A throwback to the '50s and '60s with lithograph Warhol deco and vintage poster art, Flip Side is a fun, relaxed rock bar near Aristotelous.

    In the heart of Volos' café district, Balthassar is a popular beer-and-mezedhes hang-out, where the music theme changes nightly.

    Stoa Pilkilis

    You can hear rembetika in summer on a lovely restaurant terrace at Stoa Pilkilis, though the music outshines the food.

  17. Downtown

    Downtown is next door to the Hermes Hotel, featuring DJs and including a drink in the price of admission.

    Yanni's Rock Bar is a classic and popular haunt where not even the décor has changed in years.

    Rock Club Café is one of Rethymno's classic hang-outs; tourists fills the club nightly.

  21. Lido

    Thessaloniki's big, mean disco machine, Lido is an enormous nightclub playing R&B, house and more. Like most nightclubs, in summer it operates out on the airport road.
