3 Best Nightlife in The Cyclades, Greece

Linardo

You can't miss this place; fuschia bougainvillea on the 400-year-old whitewashed building is mirrored by bright pink doors. Inside, Linardo's interior is impeccably maintained and cooly decorated—it has to be, considering that it's one of Naousa's top hot spots, where crowds gather until the early morning to listen to the coolest music on the isle.

Mammo Wine and Food Bar

Nightlife in Syros revolves around the eastern part of the harbor, along Petrou Ralli, where you may find people dancing in the street; Mammo Wine Bar is at the center of it. Café and restaurant by day—serving bruschettas, gourmet salads, and a variety of international and Mediterranean plates—the energy heightens when the sun sets. Its sleek, dark and modern space gets packed and comes alive once a DJ is called in to play mainstream dance music, and colorful creative cocktails and shots make the rounds. The wine continues to flow and there are 100 to choose from.

Scorpios

Legendary beachside lair that has inspired a legion of copies. Self-styled as a "lifestyle commune" there are a lot of carefully staged ethnic rituals and spiritual encounters. It's a bit hippie, a bit glamorous, and very successful—its Sunday gatherings attract 3,500 people. The sassy and eclectic food menu is very well presented, if expensive, but really this is a grown-up chilled-out beach bar for the bright and beautiful.
