Itinerary
Day 1
Evening / night bar crawl around Chora (Ios village). Start at Life is a Beach Party HQ at 23:00. Total program ~4 hours.
Meet & Pre-drinks — Life is a Beach Party HQ (HQ meet point)
Redeem your ticket and collect your jagerbomb at the official HQ on the main street of Chora. Reps will brief the group and hand out wristbands and shot tokens.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early to redeem tickets and grab your jagerbomb — lines move faster if you have your booking confirmation ready.
- Form a small group with friends and keep wristbands/shots together — it speeds up entry at partner venues.
- Bring some cash (small bills) for tips and quick purchases; the rep can help with group bottle deals later.
First Bar — Alt Bar (Escobar) (novelty shots & buckets)
Short walk into the village for novelty shots and buckets — a classic first-stop energy boost on the crawl.
Tips from local experts:
- Try one of the novelty buckets as a group challenge — they’re made for sharing (order early to avoid wait).
- If you’re doing shot challenges, pace between rounds and grab water from the bar in between.
- Designate a small meeting spot just outside the venue so the group can regroup quickly before moving on.
Second Bar — Circus Bar (live-music & shot challenge)
Circus Bar brings live music and a lively crowd — take part in the timed shot challenge and enjoy a set by resident musicians.
Tips from local experts:
- Circus Bar gets buzzy — arrive with your group to secure a table near the music if you plan to stay longer.
- Ask the staff about the 'shot challenge' rules before you start so your team isn't surprised mid-round.
- Keep valuables close (phone/wallet) in busy live-music spots — use inner pockets or a small crossbody.
Third Bar — Shush Bar Ios (silent disco experience)
Unique stop for the island’s silent disco — grab headphones, choose a channel, and try the rave juice special.
Tips from local experts:
- Shush Bar runs headphones with multiple channels — split up and compare playlists for laughs, then vote on a favourite.
- Silent disco is crowded; if anyone in your group prefers quieter spaces, pick a spot at the periphery of the dance area.
- Charge your phone earlier in the evening — headphone rentals and photos will eat battery fast.
Fourth Stop — Disco 69 (VIP nightclub entry)
VIP entry to Disco 69 on the top square — big music and dancing with an international crowd. Perfect for groups who want to dance.
Tips from local experts:
- Show your wristband at VIP entry to skip queues — stick together when approaching the door so everyone gets in smoothly.
- Reserve a small space near the DJ if you want to return later — reps sometimes help secure group spots.
- Hydrate between sets — order a jug or bottle to share so you can stay on the dancefloor longer as a group.
Final After-club — Sweet Irish Dream (after-party & late-night vibes)
Cap the night at the infamous after-club Sweet Irish Dream. VIP entry typically clears the queue before 03:00 — stay until close or watch the sun come up if you can.
Tips from local experts:
- Sweet Irish Dream is the classic after-party spot — use your VIP access to get in fast; if you plan to stay later, keep a small backup plan (taxi numbers, meeting point).
- Look for layback offers on arrival (free shots/discounts) and split taxis back to accommodation as a group for safety and cost savings.
- Agree on a ‘last-call’ meet time with your friends (e.g., 02:55) to avoid losing people in the crowd — pick a visible landmark outside.
