3 Best Nightlife in The Cyclades, Greece

This cool, whitewashed Cycladic-style space features a rooftop veranda perfect for sipping eclectic cocktails and admiring the view over to Paros. Siblings Argiro and Manos Fotis named this spot 520 for the bar code automatically marked on any products that are made in Greece.

The Kioulafis family paid attention to every detail when renovating this family treasure, a simple Cycladic dwelling built more than a century ago. Tucked in the walls of Old Town, Meli and Kanela's bright turquoise door beckons you into its bar lounge and café space that's enhanced by soft lighting, creamy beige-and-white walls, and traditional charm. The name, which means honey and cinnamon in Greek, is a relaxing nightlife spot to chat over a rakomelo cocktail featuring honey and cinnamon, served with a large wedge of fresh orange.

A lively chunk of Naxos nightlife is set on the south end of the Old Town, where happening bars face the waterfront and gather packed crowds of party people. This is one of them, with ambient decor and DJs that pump mainstream dance hits. Peak season, the party teeters to the edge of the street, right above the sea, where extra bars are set up to accommodate the happy crowds.
