Athens! The city that never sleeps.

 Athens is the biggest city of Greece and its capital with many things to do during day and night. It offers a wide variety of entertainment, from big night clubs to local taverns, depending on how you choose to entertain yourselves in Athens. No matter which day of the week you choose to go out you will certainly find a place to hang out.

One of the most popular areas in Athens is Gazi. Gazi is full of bars playing different kinds of music, varying from hard-rock to drum n’ base and jazz to traditional Greek music. There, you can also find three of the best mainstream Nightclubs, hosting the best parties in town and world-famous djs such as David Guetta and Erick Morillo. In addition, it is the home of several gay and lesbian bars and clubs, as Gazi was first known to be the place for these people. You can easily get to Gazi by the metro Blue Line, getting off at the stop “Keramikos”.

 A similar area near Gazi is Psiri. In Psiri, among mainstream bars and traditional taverns you can find places for people interested in art and alternative lifestyle. Psiri is also famous for its traditional taverns. You can find plenty restaurants serving traditional souvlaki and other famous Greek plates. In the main street of Psiri there are many bars serving traditional hot “Raki” accompanied by big plates with various types of meat. In such bars, there is usually a band of 3 or 4 people playing traditional Greek songs until early in the morning.


Another very beautiful place to visit during your night out is Thisio. However, it is preferable to visit Thisio during the sunset or a bit later. You can enjoy a late coffee or a glass of wine under the shade of the Acropolis rock and admire the beautiful view of the Acropolis with the colours of the sky during sunset. Then, you may continue your walk through the paths of Plaka were you can find many restaurants serving the most famous Greek traditional plates, usually accompanied by live Greek music.

These were three of the most famous areas in the centre of Athens, where you can have an amazing night out. However, don’t limit yourself and don’t hesitate to explore Athens.

More to come!
