The Island

This glamorous beach club in the suburb of Varkiza on a stretch of coastline that is referred to as Athens's Riviera is owned by Spyros and Chrysanthos Panas, brothers who have been shaping the city's nightlife for more than a decade. The sprawling location perched on a cliff over the sea is divided into several outdoor event spaces surrounded by blooming trees that include an excellent restaurant and dance floor. Valentino was so impressed when he stopped by on his yacht a summer ago that he stayed a few extra days. Don't forget to check out the Wonder Shop which debuts this summer, a boutique offering a well-curated mix of emerging international and Greek designers. Open from May to September.
