Night life in Skopelos
Lively and entertaining ! For those
preferring late nights, Skopelos town is great fun, particularly
July and August, and so addictive that people return here year after
year. Lovely waterside or hilltop bars where you can sip your
cocktail, enjoying stunning views and watching the twinkle of
distance lights reflected in the still water of the harbour.
Bohemian night clubs, fancy discos playing the latest hits, music
halls and Greek Bouzouki places with famous singers and bouzouki
players compose the variety of a lively night life.
All remain open until late. There are also some traditional open-air
taverns organizing "Greek nights" with live music, dancing and lot
of fun. Greek or western style, you can dance the night away until
early morning.
Skopelos is one of the very few places in Greece where authentic "rembetica"
songs are deeply rooted since their arrival from Asia Minor in the
early 1900's.
REMBETICA songs : Greece is and has always been a great
attraction to the world, not only because of its beautiful islands
and tourist facilities but also because of its ancient history, its
culture and its contribution to civilization thousands of years ago.
The land chosen by the gods has witnessed the first musical
instruments and scores.
Many consider rembetica songs the heirs of Greek folk songs, and in
fact functioned as such until the Asia Minor catastrophe in 1922.
From then on however, things changed rapidly. The districts in
Greece where Asia Minor refugees settled soon began to fill up with
night clubs, where rembetica songs reached their peak of popularity
during the pre-war period.
"I can never forget how poor I was during those years, when I was
unemployed and no one took the slightest pity for me", said Yiannis
Lelakis in an interview. "I was very poor, the poorest person in
Drapetsona. I had no bread to eat, no clothes to wear. Then I wrote
my first song, a song that I had really lived, putting into it
everything I had experienced at that time..."
ANATOLI : The famous "Anatoli" ouzerie perched high on the
top of the ancient castle offers unique nights under the stars.
George Xindaris and his company play authentic rembetica until late.
An experience you should not miss!
