Athens is different to most other European capitals. The best opportunity to enjoy the full range of nightlife is in the winter as opposed to the summer. This is because many establishments follow the tourists on to the islands during the hotter months. Of course this doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time after dark in the city.
Club life in Athens is growing steadily with more and more internationally renowned DJs playing in the city’s clubs. Don’t go to them until late at night though. They don’t open until around 11pm, don’t get going until between midnight and 1am and don’t shut usually until 6am! A night’s clubbing in Athens can take its toll.
If clubbing isn’t your thing, there is a vibrant live music scene in Athens. Whether it is jazz, rock, or local bands which you plan on seeing, all are always playing somewhere in the city. For the best listings check out Kathimerini, an English supplement with the Herald Tribune.
A lot of the nightlife spills out on the streets and there is always a good atmosphere in the city. This comes from the various bars which are scattered all over. As the bars don’t close until approximately 4am, you don’t feel like you’re missing out on too much if you don’t go to a club.
