Europe Greece Astypalaia Bars & Nightlife

Overview

Bars & Nightlife The guide was updated: 2024-09-16

Nightlife in Astypalaia is rather low-key, with most evening entertainment had in the form of dinner and drinks at the local taverns (do try the local wine and spirits). Some establishments host small traditional music and dance shows, and those who prefer to part-take in dancing themselves can check out the Chora-based Kouros Bar and Club and/or the out-of-the-way Vatses Beach Bar popular with the younger crowd. Keep in mind, however, that venues are often short-lived and there is no guarantee they will re-open the following summer season.

Archipelago Cafe & Bar

Archipelago Cafe & Bar

The outdoor terrace framed with lush green trees and fragrant flowers invites for coffee and cake with a view over the stunning hill of Chora. Archipelago Cafe & Bar serves a vast array of sweets and cakes, as well as drinks after sundown when the town beautifully lights up.

Vatses Beach Bar

Vatses Beach Bar

Known as one of the louder (although still very tame compared to similar establishments on other Greek islands) places in Astypalaia, the Vatses Beach Bar plays good music, serves food and drink, and even owns a few sunbeds set out directly by the water. It's popular among the younger holidaymakers.

Castro Bar

Castro Bar

With its beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking the old town and majestic music evenings, the Castro Bar remains one of the central nightlife hot spots in the Chora area. Castro is a great place to while away an evening in good company, sipping on a well-crafted cocktail.

Al Mare Cocktail Beach Bar

Al Mare Cocktail Beach Bar

One of the best places to be day and night, the Al Mare Cocktail Beach Bar (located in the Agios Konstantinos village) mixes great drinks, plays pleasant music, and even serves food with many organic ingredients sourced from its back yard garden. Sunbeds are at guests' disposal.

Argo Coffee Bar

Argo Coffee Bar

Although the bar does serve coffee, it is, perhaps, more of an evening establishment, where live musicians make appearances frequently to entertain guests with traditional Greek music performances. Drinks include Greek ouzo and raki, and some local food is also on offer.

Mylos Bar

Mylos Bar

One of Astypalaia's best kept secrets, the Mylos Bar in the island's Chora only operates throughout the high season (between June and September). It is a well-maintained indoor bar with a decent selection of local and international drinks, rather popular among holidaymakers.
