The coastline fills with light, music and movement, while the sea sets the rhythm for the night.

In Flisvos, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and further south, nightlife sparks into life all along the coast.

Cocktail bars by the waves, DJ sets, beach bars, music and dinners that go on into the small hours give the night its own unique cadence.

The waterfront becomes the stage for some of the city’s liveliest moments — the sea always challenging and cajoling Athens to match its pace with its own effervescent ebb and flow.
