Athens Bouzoukia – An Exclusively Greek Way of Entertainment

In Athens Greece, when we say go bouzoukia, we mean night clubs with Greek live music.

In fact the word bouzoukia comes from the word “bouzouki” is a lute-like stringed musical instrument, made of elongated wooden bands and a long arm. It has three or four double strings.

They are decorated with figures and special design points that make musical instruments unique.

The bouzouki is a musical instrument that functions as a landmark of Greek folk song.

The bouzoukia nightclubs host well-known Greek artists. The entertainment includes live music from big names of the pop or folk music scene of Greece, with lots of dancing, singing and flower warfare until the early morning hours.

The “bouzoukia” are night clubs – giants usually, but often smaller venues. The music program usually starts around eleven o’clock at night, but the big star artists shows up around two in the morning. That’s when the main fun begins, which will last until late in the morning.

The big stars of the staff usually appear on Friday or Saturday. The winter “bouzoukia” are open from October to May, while the summer scene is transferred from the Athens city center to the Athenian Riviera beach.

Where to dance
