CLUBS AND CLUB RESTAURANTS

The clubs in Athens can most easily be usually be summed up as "local" or "mega club / club restaurant".

The major clubs fill up usually on the "hot nights" of Friday and Saturday, while the local places are more warm and friendly – filling up on week nights. Of course, there are also differences in regards to pricing since, "You always get what you pay for".

For the winter period, the areas of Psirri and Gazi are the places to go. The closer that summer comes, clubbers go as often as possible to the beachfront where the dance floors of the biggest clubs open up to the public.
