The Dark Side of Athens

Nightlife in Greece is its own animal. One may think, “Oh, it’s probably just like any other place in Europe.” Well, think again. In Athens, there is an entire neighborhood designated for clubs and bars, called the Gazi District. Once an industrial area where no one would dare venture, now is thriving after midnight from Wednesday to Sunday. And this isn’t the only place in Athens where you can find bars and clubs. There are tons of other spots throughout the city, mainly near Syntagma Square and Plaka. These bars tend to be slightly more upscale than the more grimy Gazi District. More young business professionals venture to these bars after work for drinks and a smoke with friends. The drinks are unique and expensive, and these bars usually die down around 2am. <a href="https://medium.com/coachs-carrots/the-dark-side-of-athens-73ac7bc72ed9">Website</a>
