Athens
by night
Accommodations
in Athens
When you are in Athens, you will have the impression that the
city never sleeps. You will hear also many people say that Athens
lives by night. To a great extent that statement is true. No
other city in the world offers so many possibilities for evening
entertainment as this so ancient and yet so modern city does.
The possibilities are indeed many: ancient Greek drama in a theatre
dating from the time the play was written; a world famous orchestra
playing Beethoven or jazz in one of the best modern concert halls
of Europe; also a club and music scene quite unique in the world
for its diversity and resourcefulness.
Parthenon, the Acropolis and a part of Plaka.
You can start your evening in one of the excellent
restaurants and typically Greek tavernas, which you can find
throughout the city. Before to going to one of the Greek bouzouki
taverns, you should try one of the hundreds of bars, which are
full of young people and are located all over the city. Beautifully
decorated bar-clubs, playing all kinds of music through the night.
It is said that a night "sta Bouzoukia" is a night one never
forgets.
