Athens’ nightlife runs late. Restaurants usually fill up around 21:00, clubs start getting busy after midnight, and the city is still very awake at 03:00 and beyond. It can be difficult to get back to your hotel after a busy evening of dinner and drinks, so this is handled by a private transfer, guaranteed to ensure your safe return.
The Route for a Night Out in Athens
Departure from Your Hotel
Your evening starts with a late afternoon pick up from your accommodation. Dinner comes first, followed by the club experience, with a direct return transfer at the end of the night.
Dinner in the City
At 20:00, your evening begins with dinner at the restaurant of your choice. Whether you prefer a relaxed sit-down meal or something lighter before heading out, your private transfer remains on standby so the night can continue smoothly whenever you are ready
Arrival at the Nightlife Venue
At 23:00, you arrive at the club. We have selected four well-known Athens nightlife spots as suggestions: a large mega club on Iera Odos, an underground techno venue near Kerameikos, a house music focused club in Gazi, and a Kolonaki café bar that turns into a late-night spot after midnight. The final venue, however, is entirely up to you and can be any club of your choice
The Clubs
Lohan Night Club
Lohan Night Club is on Iera Odos, housed in a converted factory with the floor space to support the productions it runs on weekends. Confetti blizzards, full audio-visual shows, mainstream house, dance and commercial tracks. Doors open at 23:30, but the room fills properly after 02:00 and the night runs to 05:30. The crowd is a mix of Athenians, international visitors and regulars who come for a large, high-energy night.
Steam
Steam is near Kerameikos metro station and is the clearest choice for a music first night. The space is multi-level with an industrial fit out, minimalist in design and built around the dancefloor rather than the bar. The programming focuses on techno and tech – house, with a regular rotation of international acts. The Kerameikos area is also one of the harder parts of the city to park in, and arriving by private transfer is considerably simpler than driving.
Blast Athens
Blast Athens is on Evmolpidon Street in Gazi, the former industrial district that has been the city’s densest nightlife zone for two decades. The interior is all black with mirrors and precise lighting lines, keeping the focus on the floor rather than the room. The music centres on house and dance, with guest DJs from Greece and abroad, and the venue runs themed nights including RedRoom Nights and XLSIOR Athens Pride. The street itself is surrounded by bars and restaurants, which makes it a natural last stop if the plan includes more than one venue.
Clown Dogs
Clown Dogs occupies a spot on Plateia Filikis Etairias in Kolonaki and works differently from the other three. During the evening it operates as a café bar, while after midnight it shifts into a club, with a music policy that moves between trap, hip hop, mainstream and Greek flavoured nights depending on the event. The crowd is a mix of local regulars, professionals and tourists who want the energy of Kolonaki. Reservations are strongly recommended on weekends, and the dress code is stylish.
Return Journey
Your return transfer is arranged in advance for 03:00, or later if needed, taking you directly back to your hotel. Everyone in the group can relax and enjoy the night, without anyone needing to stay sober to drive.

Practical Tips
Athens Clubs Start Late
Most Athens clubs open around 23:30 but fill properly after 01:00 or 02:00. Lohan, for example, is quiet until 02:00 and runs to 05:30. Arriving at 23:00 puts you ahead of the main crowd, which suits guests who want a table or a calmer first hour before the room builds.
Drink Driving and Greek Law
Greece enforces strict penalties for drink driving, with consequences increasing significantly according to the blood alcohol level. A private transfer removes that concern from the start, allowing everyone to enjoy the night safely.
Dress Code
All four venues usually apply a dress code on weekends. Lohan and Clown Dogs tend to have a more polished door policy, while Steam and Blast are slightly more relaxed, though sportswear and trainers may still be refused. Smart casual is the safest choice for all four.
Entry and Reservations
Table reservations and guest list entry are usually recommended for weekends at Lohan and Clown Dogs. Both venues are worth contacting in advance, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Steam and Blast are more walk in friendly, although busier nights may still have queues, so reserving in advance is always a good option, especially for larger groups.
