Things To Do in Greece At Night

Walk along Polignoto

The Polignoto is the road that leads to the Athenian Acropolis. One of Greece's most scenic walkways, walking through Polignoto is like walking through the pages of history itself. The walkway starts right opposite of the Thisso open air theatre and travels all the way to Plaka.

With nothing but the lights of Acropolis to guide you along, the Polignoto walkway seems to take you all the way back to ancient Athens itself. One can witness the stalwarts of Greek history rising at a distance, making out the figures of the Parthenon and the Temple of Zeus as they walk by.

Location- Thisso- Plaka

Sip your Cocktail at a Rooftop Bar

For a truly amazing nighttime experience, head over to a rooftop bar in Greece. From sunsets over oceans to panoramic views of whitewashed villages, the rooftop bars here promise to leave you enchanted with their views. The rooftop bars here can be visited throughout the day, although the post-sunset hours offer the best experience.

There are several bars to choose from in Greece- whether it be Thessaloniki’s Orizontes Roof Garden, the Sky Bar in Mykonos, or even the Tudor Hall Restaurant in Athens. Each bar comes with an exquisite menu of its own, promising a gastronomic adventure for all.

Go to an Open Air Cinema

If you’re wondering what to do in Greece as the night falls, make sure to fit a visit to an open air theatre into your itinerary. The natural wonders of Greece have been lauded for ages, and one of the best ways to spend time in the great outdoors here is to catch a movie under the stars.

The therina cinema- open air cinema- is one of the most atmospheric rituals of Athens. Today, there are over 65 open air theatres operating around the city- some private, some public, all stowed away in hidden corners of the city. Some screens offer proper seating arrangements, while others merely ask you to roll your carpet on the open grass and enjoy the show.

Location: Athens, Greece

Enjoy an Evening of Rebetiko

Emerging in the 20th century, Rebetiko is Greece’s very own Blues music. Played along traditional instruments, the rebetiko genre of music initially acted as a voice of protest for the downtrodden classes in Greece. Today, it is a thriving form that has made its way into mainstream performative arts.

When in Greece, do not miss out on the chance to catch an evening of live Rebetiko. The neighbourhood of Exarchia is home to some great Rebetiko joints, and Aggelos is one of them. In Pangrati, you’ll find the basement of Marathonitis pulsating with music. And if you find yourself in Keramikos, you’ll be forced to choose between Pipis Kafenio, Pinoklis and Triporto.

See the Panathenaic Stadium

See the Panathenaic Stadium all lit up: One of the biggest historical attractions in Greece, the Panathenaic Stadium is a marvel when seen at any point of the day.

However, when lit up after sundown, the Stadium appears twice as amazing. As of 2021, the mammoth marble stadium has acquired a new lighting system, with thousands of LED bulbs lighting up its borders.

Drink Traditional Greek Spirits

The Greeks may be known for their music and their history, but no one can visit the nation and not drink their local wares. Those looking to taste the traditional Greek culture (quite literally) should definitely make it a point to get a taste of the locally made Greek spirits.

The traditional drink here is the Ouzo, a distilled drink made out of anise seed oil. One can also find a host of grape distillates here, namely Tsipouro, tsikoudia, and raki. Tentura, an herb and spice liqueur is another popular drink here. Other popular local spirits include the mastic of Chio, Corfu’s Kumquat Liqueur and Kitro from Naxos.

Take a Night Food Tour

One of the most unique activities in Greece, the night food tour around Athens seeks to offer a glimpse into the local cuisine of the country. The food tour takes you across some of Athens’s best food destinations, teaching one how to feast like a local.

The tour itinerary makes stops at local bakeries, diners and wineries, allowing a comprehensive view of the culinary culture prevailing here. The food tour is an exceptional way not only to taste the local wares, but also to experience the thriving nightlife around Athens.

Location: Athens, Greece

Enjoy a Candlelight Dinner

Commanding uninterrupted views of the Santorini bay, the FlyAway Creative Restaurant might just be one of Greece’s most picturesque diners. While dining solo here has its own merits, one can make their experience at FlyAway twice as amazing by opting for a candlelight dinner with their loved one.

The fine dining by candlelight is complemented by a comprehensive and tastefully curated menu. The restaurant is especially well known for its Mediterranean delights, serving classics with a twist. If you’re lucky, you might even get the chance to witness a Santorini sunset from here.

Get Lost in a Medieval Maze

Anyone remotely well versed in Greek mythology will remember the ancient Labyrinth where Daedalus trapped the Minotaur. While there is no concrete evidence of where this Labyrinth may have been located, there are two potential sites that one can explore in Crete. One of them is Kommos, the home of King Minos.

Located on the southern coast of the island, Kommos is home to some spectacular ruins. However, if you walk deep into the ancient city, you’ll find remains of walkways and corridors that may have been the Minotaur’s home. However, further down the road you’ll find Gortyn, another ancient maze-like structure. Although it’s somewhat distant from Minos’ home, this maze ruin bears more resemblance to the Labyrinth described in the myths.

Location: Crete

Visit the Vergina Royal Tombs Museum

Stowed away into the dark underground, the Vergina Royal Tombs Museum is an ancient marvel. The dark burial ground in the heart of Greece has been converted into a chilling Museum where visitors can descend and admire ancient Macedonian tombs dating back to Alexander the Great.

The central attraction here is the tomb of Philip II, dating back to 336 BC and buried with a gold shield, silver chalices, and other countless treasures. Elsewhere the museum boasts of well preserved mythic friezes. It is also believed to be the final resting place of Alexander the Great himself.
