Beach Days & Beats
Agia Anna – Laid-Back but Lively
Agia Anna strikes a perfect balance: relaxed by day, buzzing by sunset. Beach bars here serve up music without going full party mode. Great for sipping mojitos, people-watching, or wandering between sea and stool.
🌴 Don’t Miss: Island Bar — with regular DJ sessions and a mellow crowd.
Plaka – Chic & Youthful
Long, sandy, and scattered with stylish beach bars, Plaka attracts a younger crowd that loves to lounge. The bars blend into the dunes, offering boho vibes, craft cocktails, and the occasional DJ.
🌞 Crowd: Trendy 20s and 30s, many staying nearby.
Agios Prokopios – Energy by the Waves
One of the most popular beaches, Agios Prokopios offers options: rent a lounger, grab a smoothie, or join the happy hour crowd. Bars here are bigger, with a more cosmopolitan feel and a rotating tourist scene.
🍹 Tip: Head toward the far end of the beach for the liveliest atmosphere.
Mikri Vigla (North End) – For the Active Crowd
Not a party beach, but perfect for sporty types who like a cold beer after kitesurfing. A younger, international vibe hangs around the cafés and bars near the surf schools.
🏄♂️ Best For: Post-activity socializing, not late-night dancing.
🧭 Before You Go
🕶️ Bring a towel & cash: Some bars don’t do cards; many offer free sunbeds with a drink.
🍉 Day-to-night gear: Wear something light that works on sand and at sunset.
📱 Check the playlists: Some bars post their music nights or DJs on Instagram.
🧊 Hydrate smart: Alternate cocktails with water — you’re still under the sun.
🕓 Arrive by 4pm: That’s when the crowd starts to build.
