10 Things to Do in Mykonos at Night

at54 Club is an unusual feature of the Mykonos’ club scene. During the day, the venue operates as a gym that then transforms into a bar and dance club in the evening. If old-school is your thing, you’ll find plenty of disco and house tunes to dance the night away to – all beneath a galaxy of glittering disco balls.

If you prefer a quieter spot to enjoy a drink and take in the beauty of the impressive local sunset, grab a drink on the terrace overlooking the nearby port. This club is conveniently located in the village near Taxi Square and, though it’s very popular with the gay crowd, it's welcoming to all tribes of party-seekers.

Paradise Club is a renowned staple of the Mykonos nightlife circuit. A relatively chilled spot earlier in the day, this place really kicks off after midnight. It’s a mega club with a private beach to call its own and attracts the cream of the crop of the international DJ set. With appearances in recent years by talent such as Nervo, Tiesto, and Marlo, this place is on the European itinerary of many a serious and casual clubber alike.

Located on Paradise Beach in the Paradise Beach Resort, the club opens from April to October each year with plenty of accommodations options available onsite. If you prefer to stay in town, taxis and public buses are easy to arrange here. Entry is free, but you can pay to reserve a table or to book a VIP booth.

Cavo Paradiso makes the most of its dramatic location perched on a cliff overlooking the sea with a huge open-air dance floor. This large venue is built to accommodate up to 3,000 party-goers and things don’t usually get into full swing until 1am onwards, as clubbers make their way up the hill from the town.

Not surprisingly for a club this size, the venue attracts a host of well-known international artists such as Ingrosso, Oliver Heldens, and Nicky Romero and entrance fees vary in accordance to the calibre and renown of the night’s DJ. Usually, the entrance fee will include a drink at the bar. During peak season, it’s best to book a table in advance as things can get busy – though you’ll need to drop some serious cash for this pleasure. The party runs through to early morning and don’t be surprised to find yourself enjoying a Mediterranean sunrise from this cliff-top viewpoint.

Semeli the Bar has become something of a Mykonian institution as an all-day, all-night bar and bistro. With views out over the blue waters of the Aegean, it’s a favorite spot to catch a sunset – private tables can be booked to secure the best vistas.

Located in the Little Venice area of town, a visit here will see you well situated to enjoy the vast array of nightlife options available nearby. Semeli the Bar itself is a pretty chic joint spread over several stylishly decorated levels, though overall it's a little on the smaller size when compared to some of the nearby venues. That said, there’s an open-air terrace to enjoy the sunset and sea views from, as well as indoor lounges complete with dance floors.

Scorpios is a Mykonos venue with a split personality. By day a seafood restaurant and a great spot to lounge with a cocktail on the beach, at night the place transforms into a decadent events venue hosting DJs and live music, depending on the night. This spot bills itself as a ‘reimagining’ of the agora of Ancient Greece – that is, a gathering place for the spiritual, artistic, and social life of the community. This is reflected in the wide variety of events hosted throughout the year, including yoga, meditation, and music events.

Located on a peninsula on the southern tip of Mykonos Island, Scorpios is flanked by the 2 beaches of Kavos and Paraga. It’s just 5 km from Mykonos Town itself and is easily reached by public transportation that runs every 30 minutes between Mykonos and Paraga.
