Fun and entertainment - Central Greece in 2024

Practical information : Going out Central Greece

Timetable

Greeks go out late, often on Fridays and Saturdays, and usually from 10 p.m. onwards. To obviously get home early in the morning. At night, we live to the rhythm of the moon! Open-air summer cinemas usually offer a second screening around 10pm-23pm because it has to be dark for the screening. Clubs and nightclubs open around midnight and remain 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 sidewalks of establishments that give concerts. For summer cinemas, it will cost between 5 and 8 € per screening, depending on the day. The reduced rate is usually applied on Mondays.

To be booked

Aside from festival performances, some movie and concert tickets are usually booked online in advance

Night transport

In large cities, the easiest (and usually not very expensive) way to get to your hotel is often by taxi.

Age restrictions

Children are often welcome (and even present) at parties and open-air cinemas for example. As for drinking, there is no legal age to consume alcohol in private in Greece. To drink and consume alcohol in a café or a public place, you have to be 18 years old, but this law is not very much followed and nobody will ask for an ID card to a young person who orders a glass of alcohol

What's very local

There is no "dress code" imposed in the exit areas. But you will soon notice that many Greeks, very chic, like to dress up to go out to an exhibition, a concert or a club. Elsewhere, in bars and taverns, Greeks have a sense of celebration and any occasion is good to gather and dance the night away. And if you ever come across a baptism or a wedding, you will often see all the generations eating, drinking, dancing and singing until the end of the night!

Smokers

More than ten years after its passage, the ban on smoking inside establishments is not always strictly enforced. The anti-smoking law in public spaces has been in place since 2008, but has never been respected in bars, clubs and outdoor cinemas. Smoking was everywhere, without restriction. Despite the law. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the conservative Prime Minister elected in July 2019, promised that the law would now be respected. Since his election, fines have been put in place to charge both establishments and customers who would not respect the law. It remains to be seen whether this will finally materialize in practice.

Tourist traps

Nothing to report other than to avoid establishments that need retreaders. It's often a bad omen!
