Party on at Privilege Beach Bar

Eight days to go, time for another teaser..

A lazy beachside walk from the chapel and we shall decant to Privilege Beach Bar, for meze, nibbles & cocktails at sundown. That should warm us up for a sizzling all-nighter party mood till dawn or till everyone drops -whichever comes first!

As you can see in the teaser video (courtesy of youtube)Privilege is pretty much open-air and straight onto the beach, but there are sheltered and cozier corners. The main benefit of the south side location is a a mild and warm evening but in any case, you may want to bring along something warmer to throw on, especially in case it’s on the windy side on the day.



Be warned, too, that you you will suffer extreme bouts of jealousy if you dress too stiff and square and you cannot follow all the cool people in flip-flops onto the beach..

Now for some necessary mundanities..

Greeks consider vegetarians a rare and rather unbalanced species, but we shall make sure you are well taken care of. Unfortunately, you will not be able to avoid the wafting smells of the BBQ.. I think I will leave the rest of the menu a surprise now.

One idea we had floated earlier was to schedule a coach to return to Kokkari - however, we realised this would probably cramp people's style, prompting a premature exodus, and we would rather have you there till dawn! So, if you don't have your own transport, and you smell too alcoholic to hitch a ride with some other guests, it's probably a good idea to obtain the mobile number of a taxi driver to arrange a pickup. There is a radio-taxi service in Vathy (Tel 22730-28404) and a taxi rank (πιατσα) at the airport and the centre of Kokkari.

I know I don't have to say this, but please be super careful if you drive yourself back, we would rather meet you on (rather than in) the beach on Sunday! Plus, in the early hours of Sunday there is pretty much always a police breathalyzer unit staking out at the Vathy-Kokkari roundabout (which you cannot avoid going through).

NB This is a blog-style website, so if this is your first visit, start reading from the bottom - and hurry up, not much time left!
