3 Best Nightlife in The Cyclades, Greece

Jutting up next to a restored 16th-century Cycladic windmill, Kaktos is an open-air terrace bar on the edge of town where locals and visitors alike can sit back and enjoy a cocktail while taking in the view of Tinos Town and the Aegean Sea—perfect for a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap.

Koursaros, which translates to "Pirate," gets its share of summer party crowds each year. Its decor is a soft mix of dark wood and stone with vintage maps and seafaring artifacts that play into the bar's nautical theme. Its location, at the very corner by the harbor, has made it one of the most visible landmark nightlife spots in Tinos since 1987. Café by day, a DJ turns up the music at night spinning rock, funk, or jazz.

Tinos Town has a nightlife district, but it only comes to life in the heat of the summer. Sivilla, located on one of the area's alleyways, churns out both Greek pop and international mainstream dance hits.
