Chania has a buzzing nightlife scene, even though the seaside town is not famous for bars and clubbing. After dark, the beach clubs and portside taverns light up the night with traditional Cretan music, jazz, and modern pop or DJ tunes that echo in the night. While there are many great suggestions for spending your evenings in Old Chania, the following clubs are a good start for the first-time visitor.
You will find one of the top party destinations in the city of Chania, Klik, in the old port. Here an international crowd of well-heeled partiers lives it up on summer nights. You can expect a classier vibe, great music, and a party vibe that’s a bit more tailored than some of the beach clubs. There are many other excellent venues scattered around the prefecture of Chania. Here are three of the best.
Splendid
The classiest and ritziest party venue in Platanias, also considered among the best in all Crete.
Eclipse Bar
Some of the wildest parties on the island take place at this bar in Platanias. Wear good dancing shoes and get ready to rock till dawn.
Ammos & Ilios
Ammos & Ilios is a beach bar with a strong reputation for exceptional DJ parties. You’ll find it in Agia Marina.
