Santorini is a very popular island among tourists heading to Greece. But when it comes to partying , it surely doesn’t rival Mykonos. or Ios. But, if you are in Santorini, you won’t be bored if you want to go out for drinks and/or dancing.

Most of the bars and discos are located in the capital, Fira, which has all-night nightlife but since we are on an island, what’s hot this season, might not be the next. Still, there are famous spots which seem to stand the test of time.

For spectacular sunsets, head to Franco’s (plays classical music), Tango or Koo. With a good location comes high prices, so be prepared to pay from €15 for a drink.

If you are not here for the caldera view, then there are plenty other places to start your night at, including an Irish pub (Murphy’s).

Planning to dance the night away? Then discos are where you want to go. Koo remains the most popular of them, with at least 5 bars available. Those who plan to get hammered will head to Tithora, very popular among the youngsters. Club 33 plays only Greek music, while Enigma is one of the must see places in Santorini. Drinks start at €10 in all discos and usually there’s no cover charge.

Looking for partying on the beach? Then head to one of the bars on Kamari Beach: Disco Dom, Mango’s, Yellow Donkey and Valentino’s. You’ll run into youngsters partying all day.

Oia is the place to be if you are looking for a laid-back, romantic nightlife atmosphere. It’s the place popular with honeymooners and the bars and discos follow suit. Pelekanos cafe and restaurant is located right in the center and plays Greek music, blues, jazz and even classic music.
