The island’s nightlife is centred around the capital, Pigadia, and the harbour’s coastal zone, where visitors can choose to spend time from early in the day, enjoying coffee at one of the many cafes with fantastic sea views. Most bars and clubs stay open until the late hours, playing international or Greek music. If you’d rather avoid the buzzy capital, neighbouring Arkasa is an ideal place to enjoy a drink, where there are small bars with less noise, serving good cocktails.
