Fun and entertainment Greece

Timetable

Greeks go out late, often on Fridays and Saturdays, and usually from 10 pm onwards. To obviously return early in the morning. In the evening, we live to the rhythm of the moon! The summer cinemas, in the open air, usually offer a second screening around 10-11pm because it has to be dark for the projection. The clubs and nightclubs open around midnight and stay open until the early morning, around 5-6am and depending on the number of people.

Budget & Tips

Going out doesn't have to be expensive. Many students (among others) take a drink to go and happily occupy the sidewalk of establishments that give concerts. For the summer cinemas, you will have to pay between 5 and 8 € per session, depending on the day. The reduced rate is usually applied on Mondays.

To be booked

As everywhere, for the popular addresses, restaurants and cocktail bars, it is better to book your table by phone or on the websites of the establishments. The Facebook pages are good information to know the animations and lives programmed.

Night transport

To book a cab to come back late from a party or in a place not very frequented by cabs, choose the Beat-Ride app.

Age restrictions

Bars, private clubs: minors (under 18 years old) are not allowed to enter or be present in entertainment businesses and bars.

Discotheques, casinos: minors not accompanied by their parents or persons responsible for their education are not allowed

What's very local

Drinking coffee is an institution in Greece: you can stay for hours with a freddo or a frappé for a few euros, without having to renew your order. Be careful though: the coffees are not cheap. At 4 € for a frappé, sometimes it is understandable that some customers linger..

Smokers

In the street, in the parks, on the café terraces, nobody will reproach you for smoking. In the cafés, many smokers do not respect the law, without any trouble.
