• Fira heads the nightlife section - many bars and cafes are actually on the caldera, whilst others, as well as the large clubs, are tucked into the quaint cobbled streets weaving through the town. That's not to say that you won't find some great places elsewhere on the island.
• Oia for example has some classy cafes & bars, Perissa Perivolos, Kamari have beach bars & clubs, some of which stay open to the late hours...
• Many places along the caldera are actually built into rennovated cave houses. There are strict laws about loud music along the caldera, so clubs are either indoors, or surrounded by high walls if they have a courtyard, whereas bars & cafes often have a caldera-volcano view since they shut earlier.
• Clubs and bar-clubs have guest D.J. appearances during the summer months. They also charge a fee on the door, which includes your first drink.
• Beach bars are lots of fun, they combine a 'day club scene' with swimsuits, beach volley and happenings. Dress 'light', carry as little as possible, because there is a good chance of getting soaked. Cafes can be found everywhere, the decor is traditional and atmospheric, frappe (iced coffee) is the favourite Greek summer beverage. More often than not, cafes offer snacks.
