Europe Greece Santorini Bars & Nightlife

Overview

Bars & Nightlife The guide was updated: 2025-05-21

Santorini's nightlife revolves around its bustling capital, a buzzing hub that houses most of the island's foreign-patronised clubs and happening hangouts. The hectic town centre livens up at night, rocking until dawn in a uniform mixture of tourists and locals.

Despite the other villages' less renowned bar scene, Santorini's holiday resorts, having developed substantially around tourism, are certainly not to be underrated. Picturesque bars dot the main drags, often gifting the travellers with breathtaking panoramas.

Wet Stories — Perivolos Beach

Wet Stories — Perivolos Beach

Right on Perivolos Beach, Wet Stories is one of the island’s more polished beach bars. Expect sunbeds, cocktails, loud music, and the occasional DJ set—especially in peak season. It leans more party than chill, but you can still drop in for coffee or lunch between swims. It’s not cheap, and it does get crowded, but if you’re after a beach club vibe with bottle service and people-watching, this is your spot.

Koo Club — Fira

Koo Club — Fira

In the heart of Santorini's club scene, Koo Club never fails to disappoint the night owls, hosting different events and exceptional DJs every day over the summer season. A young crowd of locals and holidaymakers mix and mingle from the early evening at the outside bars till late at night.

PK Cocktail Bar — Fira

PK Cocktail Bar — Fira

PK’s been around for over 40 years, and it’s easy to see why. Three terraces hang right over the caldera in Fira, making it one of the best spots in town for sunset drinks. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but the view and well-crafted cocktails make it worth a splurge. It gets packed around golden hour, so come early if you want a good seat.

Mamounia — Fira

Mamounia — Fira

Mamounia is one of the few places in Santorini that feels like a full-on nightclub. Located in the heart of Fira, it draws a mostly local crowd with DJs spinning Greek pop, international hits, and house late into the night. The space is partly open-air, with palm trees and flashing lights giving it a bold, party vibe.

Casablanca Soul — Fira

Casablanca Soul — Fira

Laid-back early on, louder later—Casablanca is a solid choice if you're after cocktails and dancing in Fira. The music leans toward funk, soul, and house, with occasional live acts and themed nights. It draws a mixed crowd and stays open late, especially in high season.

V Lounge Cafe & Cocktail Bar — Fira

V Lounge Cafe & Cocktail Bar — Fira

With such a view and elegant terrace, it would be easy for cocktails to take second place, but that's not the case. At V Lounge, cocktails and drinks are proudly made by using quality ingredients, blended professionally by mixology experts. Their wines are attentively selected, embracing all Santorini's flavours. Prices, on the other hand, are, of course, up to the standards.

Tango Champagne & Cocktail Bar — Fira

Tango Champagne & Cocktail Bar — Fira

Tango does sunset cocktails with a side of glamour. The terrace looks straight out over the caldera, and early evenings are perfect for cocktails or champagne with low-key tunes. Later on, the mood shifts—music gets louder, the dance floor fills up, and it turns into more of a party.

Tropical Bar — Fira

Tropical Bar — Fira

Although equipped with the well-known, yet suggestive, view over the caldera, Tropical Bar is slightly different from Santorini's usual offering, attracting its guests more for its relaxed attitude than for its appearance. Here you can watch rugby or football and cheer along with the other supporters.
