Athens' nightlife is among the best in Europe, with many local tavernas, particularly in the Plaka area, and ouzeris typical Greek bars , plus a plethora of trendy bars and small clubs in the fashionable night-time districts of Psirri and Gazi playing international music. Nightclubs featuring live Greek bouzouki music are also extremely popular in both Athens and Thessaloniki — think glitzy clientele throwing carnations and dancing on the tables.
Through summer, the Cycladic islands of Mykonos and Santorini are also noted for their exceptionally glamorous and up-market nightlife, while Corfu, Zakynthos Zante , Rhodes and Ios attract youngsters in search of cheap alcohol and all-night discos. Couples in search of a romantic escape would do better to head for lesser known islands such as Milos, Folegandros, Patmos or Ithaca. For more highbrow entertainment, regular classical music concerts and international theatrical performances are held at the stunning open air second-century AD Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens during the Hellenic Festival Jun-Sep.
As the historical capital of Europe, Athens offers a stunning range of rich history, savoury cuisine, and a tangible feeling of culture. Embonas, a Greek mountain village in the center of Rhodes, is the most important grape-producing village on Rhodes. Meaning, they are the wine producers on the island.

It offers a panoramic view towards the Turkish coast. All the walking around will definitely make you hungry, so what about combining a visit here with a trip to the small fishing port?
Hopping on a boat is one of our top things to do in Rhodes. There are some day trips from Rhodes that obviously involve a boat. So, we had a look on where you can explore more islands by hopping on a boat.
Symi is one of the closest islands, and easiest to get access too. Several boats a day head that way during the high season. Halki is the smallest island of the Dodecanese. Even more secluded than Symi and only 6 km away from Rhodes, in Chalki you can still experience the antique Greece. In the museum, you will discover a traditionally furnished house oft the old days.
Wander along the Harbour and enjoy a traditional coffee.
Afterward, walk to one of the most amazing beaches of the Dodecanese. The Market is held every Wednesday and Saturday. It is near the cemetery and the little beach of Zephyros. If you want to travel light, be careful, you will find plenty of tempting products in this market. I recommend buying some olives — they are so yummy! Whatever your taste and budget, you will find a place to suit you in the Island.
Also, if you want to go dancing, Rhodes has more than one hundred disco-bars around the island. Wait, these clubs are generally busy and inexpensive. And some of them offer nice views. Ideal for meeting people. Start your night walking around the popular Bar Street Orfanidi Street and stop where the music suits you.
The party will last until early morning, especially during summer, so… be ready for that! Another awesome thing to do in Rhodes in Summer is snorkeling and kayaking. You can find the Kayaking Tours here. From culture and food to tradition or even partying, Rhodes offers many activities all over the island.
We could say, Rhodes has it all. So, what are you waiting for? Book your activities, plan your days or simply relax on a different beach every day….
