Chilled

Sun Spirit
What could be better than ordering a fruity cocktail or chilled beer and watching one of Oia's famous sunsets? The terrace of Sun Spirit is a good place to be, tucked away next to one of the village's trademark windmills.

Cayo
Set on beautiful Perivolos Beach, this pristine white bar serves up fresh juices and smoothies to frazzled sun-worshippers. After sunset, though, it's the place to chill with cocktails before the DJs up the tempo and the partying really begins.

Clubbing

Murphy's
Your first port of call after a day spent at the beach should be this raucous Irish pub, which draws a party-loving international crowd. Beat your way to the bar past all the bronzed beach bums at happy hour and stay on til at least 3am at weekends.

Enigma
Serving up cocktails to the clubbing cognoscenti since the 1970s, Enigma is the perfect spot for enjoying some music under the stars. Styled like a Cycladic mansion, there's a courtyard for hot nights, and a vaulted interior decked out with comfy chairs and sofas.
