Dance Like Zorba In Athens' Clubs
10/04/2007 09:10 a.m.
Although the stereotype of Greek dancing involves slow, languorous movements with arms outstretched and lots of plates crashing to the ground to the tune of authentic Athenian bouzouki or rembétika music, Athens is a major European Club hotspot and is a must stop for any Eurotourer who wants to experience some of the heaviest beats on the continent. Travel agents can show you how easy and affordable it is to enjoy the long balmy enthralling nights of the Greek Capital City.
With nightclubs usually open until 6 am, Athens is a great place to dance until dawn. The Greek capital’s most exclusive and sophisticated nightclubs are Privilege at Deligianni 50 and Georganta in Kifissia, a moneyed suburb north of the city centre. These clubs are primarily frequented by the wealthy, glamorous under-40s of the new Greek meritocracy. To continue to hobnob with the Athenian elite, the upmarket area of Kolonaki is a natural stop. Mommy on Delphon 4, is a sublime bar-restaurant which features décor straight out of the Seventies and a clientele which is young, gorgeous and wealthy. Central, on Platia Kolonki 14 is a favorite of visiting business people and makes up in class what it lacks in sheer electric excitement. Your travel agent can help you discover the best places to mix and mingle with the Greek Upper Class at Athens' best clubs.
Psirri is the new hotspot of the capital, a formerly run down industrial neighborhood which is being renovated to create a long list of very trendy clubs and bars. Venue is the name of the biggest and brashest night club in Athens, located in Psirri, at Ag Eleoussis and Kakourgodikiou, close to Monastiráki metro station. Soul, on Evripidou 65, is the leader in providing the perfect night time atmosphere, featuring a cocktail bar, lounge and restaurant in a phenomenal courtyard with profoundly scarlet walls and verdant plants everywhere, plus a hard rockin' dance floor upstairs. Just a few minutes' walk away on the corner of Miaouli and Themidos, still in Psirri, you'll find Bee which primarily caters to a mixed gay crowd.
Should you want to relax after a night of hard dancing and partying, it might be a great idea to enjoy a drink under the stars with a wonderous view of the lit up Acropolis at any of the open-air cafes lining Apostolou Pavlou in Thissio and Adrianou near Monastiraki. Consult your travel agent who will most certainly be able to advise you on how best to experience all the facets of Athens at night!
