TANGO
Athenians already know the Tango’s unique style and precious ambiance. Santorini’s Tango does not miss the rule and is definitely one of the hot spots of Island’s nightlife. Mainstream and Latin music with a focus on the 80ies will rhythm your nights around the renovated bar. An exceptional place where you will simply dance over the Caldera
TROPICAL
Tropical Bar, a small but classy club, is located in Fira, offering a fabulous view of the caldera. There is a spacious bar counter which can double as a dance floor. The bar has a lively Southern Californian bartender, who whips up one of the best margaritas, a cocktail made with tequila, an orange liqueur, and lemon, and serves it in its original form by encrusting salt on the glass rim. The bar has created an entire menu of frozen drinks and cocktails, such as the fiery tutti frutty and many more. The ambience is totally relaxing and rock and reggae music are on top of the chart. The bar opens at noon and starts with coffee.
MAMOUNIA
This club is what is called in Greece “ellinadiko” (playing Greek music), but also with lively mainstream music. A very researched, always renovated, decoration with glass, bright colors, palm trees and plants popping out that create a unique atmosphere.
