Athens By
Night
Athens is an entertaining
city, some would say on a par with the great entertainment
centers of the world. On any summer night there are out
door concerts from your favorite rock stars to classical
music, ballet, and Byzantine music, and the
Dora Stratou Dancers.
There are giant indoor-outdoor discos and clubs where the
most famous Greek singers perform nightly to packed houses.
In the winter Athens club scene comes alive with shows ranging
from blues-rock-jazz to traditional Rembetika,
laika and of course punk-rap and whatever is happening
in the west. The Athenoroma
magazine has a listing in Greek and there is one in this
guide as well but you may want to call and make sure a club
is open before you go since many of them are seasonal. Also
the Athens news
newspaper will list any interesting concerts.

NIGHTLIFE & ENTERTAINMENT
 Athens
is virtually a paradise for night owls. Whether your start
with dinner and then hit the clubs or begin with a couple
of drinks before making your way to one of the many live
music establishments, the city is sure to keep you entertained
until the early hours. The atmosphere in some of the bars
and dance clubs has to be seen to be believed, while a visit
to a bouzouki club is an experience not
to be missed.
In summer in particular,
it appears that everyone is out of the town. The seaside
resorts of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza and the northern
suburb of Kifissia are especially popular and provide a
cool respite form the city.
But choice is not
limited to bars and club. There are countless coffee shops
that stay open until late at night, taverns, restaurants,
theatres and cinemas (both indoor and outdoor).
