What you can expect

One thing is sure: Athens knows how to party! If you're visiting the city, tasting the famous Athens nightlife is a must -and you should experience it not as a tourist, but as a true Athenian.

At night, Athens offers an amazing array of music styles and entertainment genres; there’s something for everyone here. But what sets Athens nightlife truly apart is the friendly and generous character of the Greeks, myou can bet your Athens nightlife tour will be really good-hearted, energetic and fun!

Your evening begins with a visit to a local neighborhood bar, to give you a feel of the everyday laid-back atmosphere that only the best bars in Athens can offer. Then, your Athens Nightlife tour is off to the hip downtown bars, where celebrated mixologists cater to a see-and-be-seen crowd in the most famous spots of Athens nightlife. Your guide, an open-hearted, outgoing Athenian who stays up longer at night than during the day, will help you find the perfect drinks at the coolest venues and give you any help you need in interpreting local customs. During your Athens by night tour, you’ll also do what every Athenian does when going out at night -grab a few snacks along the way, because food and drinks go together, and also because it’s a great opportunity to try some Greek meze (small dishes that go with drinks).
