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 10pm onwards. Then, of course, they return early in the morning. In the evening, we live to the rhythm of the moon! Open-air summer cinemas usually offer a second showing around 10-11pm, as it has to be pitch-dark for the projection. Clubs and nightclubs open around midnight and stay open until the wee hours of the morning, around 5-6 a.m., depending on how busy they are.

Budget & Tips

Going out doesn't have to be expensive. Many students (among others) take a drink to go and happily line the sidewalks of concert venues. Summer cinemas cost between €5 and €8, depending on the day.

To be booked

Apart from festival shows, some cinema and concert tickets can usually be 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 open-air parties and cinemas, for example. To drink and consume alcohol in a café or public place, you need to be 18, but this law is not widely enforced, and no one will ask for ID when a young person orders a glass of alcohol.

What's very local

There's no dress code for going out. But you'll soon notice that many chic Greeks like to dress up to go to an exhibition, a concert or a club. Elsewhere, in bars and taverns, Greeks have a great sense of party, and any occasion is a good one for getting together and dancing the night away. And if you happen to come across a christening or wedding, you'll often see all generations eating, drinking, dancing and singing the night away!

Smokers

Greeks are heavy smokers, but the 2008 anti-smoking law is now relatively well enforced.

Tourist traps

Nothing to report, apart from avoiding establishments that need to employ thrashers. It's often a bad omen!
