Caprice is a classic Mykonos bar in the heart of scenic sea-hugging Little Venice. Its simple whitewashed Cycladic interior has three rooms, but the two outer rooms are overflow seating areas for the typically jam packed, long and narrow bar room where all the action happens. It attracts a happy party crowd of both foreigners and Greeks that love to drink and dance to music hits that pump into the early morning hours.

A prime spot above idyllic Naousa harbor is where you'll find Sommaripa Consolato, which infuses Paros tradition in its drinks. Instead of a mojito, try their creation—a sumito, which replaces rum with the local homemade island liquor called suma. Once the home of the Parian family, the family's younger generation transformed it into a whitewashed, cool open space with artwork and picture-perfect views of the bay. During the day, stop by for a Greek coffee accompanied by one of Mama Sommaripa's homemade Greek cookies or a slice of cake.

Koursaros, which translates to "Pirate," gets its share of summer party crowds each year. Its decor is a soft mix of dark wood and stone with vintage maps and seafaring artifacts that play into the bar's nautical theme. Its location, at the very corner by the harbor, has made it one of the most visible landmark nightlife spots in Tinos since 1987. Café by day, a DJ turns up the music at night spinning rock, funk, or jazz.

The Kioulafis family paid attention to every detail when renovating this family treasure, a simple Cycladic dwelling built more than a century ago. Tucked in the walls of Old Town, Meli and Kanela's bright turquoise door beckons you into its bar lounge and café space that's enhanced by soft lighting, creamy beige-and-white walls, and traditional charm. The name, which means honey and cinnamon in Greek, is a relaxing nightlife spot to chat over a rakomelo cocktail featuring honey and cinnamon, served with a large wedge of fresh orange.
