The island’s capital, Chora, as well as the beaches, were packed with young people full of energy and adventurous mood, ready to party non stop.

Paros; A Fun New Hotspot

When it comes to nightlife fun Mykonos’ alter ego is Paros. Fun in Paros seems to be never ending. Fun starts on the beaches of Punta and Santa Maria where water activities are practiced, such as surfing. Then again if you aren’t much of an athlete or simply in a mood of dancing, the beach bars always play rhythmical music and entertain the crowds.

Paros’ nightlife beats in Paroikia and at the picturesque port of Naousa. On the coastal walkway in Paroikia you’ll find bars playing ambient music offering a chill out atmosphere, while the vast majority of the clubs are located in the area known as ‘potami’ (meaning river) where loud music and dancing promise to keep your spirits high. The party doesn’t stop here... it goes on in the narrow alleys and in the small port of Naousa where it tends to be crowded every summer night. Alternatively, can find some lovely bars playing soul, jazz and rock music by the sea in the areas of Piso Livadi to Dryos.
