Featured line-ups
Athens nightlife revolves around its big "pistes", the stages of the bouzoukia: large venues where top Greek singers perform live while guests sit at tables, usually with a bottle ("fiali") on the table. Each autumn the venues announce their new line-ups and the winter season runs until spring, when the action moves to the coast and the islands. Alongside them you will find clubs with a mainstream sound and rebetiko taverns for a more relaxed, intimate night.
The main zones are easy to learn. Iera Odos, Gazi and Pireos Street host most of the big venues, just minutes from the centre. Syngrou Avenue and the coastal road have a more southern feel, Marousi serves the northern suburbs, while Psyrri, Kypseli and Petralona are home to rebetiko spots.
For Friday and Saturday, book early, especially when a big name is on. Check the current line-ups and bouzoukia prices, and if you are coming as a group ask us about VIP transfer. Every booking is confirmed by phone or email.
