Jaunted

The club is divided into a restaurant in the front and a large open patio, overlooking the sea, in the back. The restaurant tends toward the ostentatious, with dishes reminiscent more of expensive artwork than of anything digestible. At a certain point - roughly a couple hours after the sun sets - the old rich people get replaced young hot people and the action moves to the patio.

The back itself is divided between a central dance floor, a surrounding ring of couches and tables, and a pool in the back. Dancing begins at dusk and lasts until post-sunrise closing time. DJs play a mix of American Top 40, European pop music, and what occasionally seem to be techno renditions of Greek folk ballads. All of these are very much appreciated by the open-shirted men and short-skirted women who pack the club. Yes of course there are green laser lights.

Insider Tip: On weekends the rope line is guaranteed to reach "screw this let's go somewhere else" length. If you're staying in a hotel of sufficient quality you might try to have the concierge get you on the guest list. Failing that, your best bet is to be hot, famous, or visibly wealthy. If none of that works, try reminding the bouncers that Europeans are supposed to like Americans again.

One Final Warning: They don't accept credit cards and the nearest cash machine is about a 30 minute walk away. Both ways.
