Itinerary
Day 1
Evening pub crawl: meet at Life is a Beach Party HQ for pre-drinks then proceed through five partner venues in Chora with VIP entry, one shot per venue and a final after-club.
Pre-drinks at Life is a Beach Party HQ + first stop to Alt Bar (Escobar)
Meet at Life is a Beach Party HQ on Chora's main road for the ticketed pre-drink (includes a Jägerbomb on arrival). After the pre-drink the group moves to Alt Bar (Escobar) in the village for the first partnered shot and VIP entry.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive by 22:55 at Life is a Beach Party HQ on Main Street, Chora to check in with the reps and redeem tickets.
- Have valid photo ID ready — venues enforce the 18+ age rule and will check IDs at entry.
- Wear comfortable shoes; Chora has narrow cobbled streets and short walks between venues.
Circus Bar (village) — live-music themed stop
Second stop at Circus Bar in the village with live-music and party themes. Group joins the shot challenge on arrival with VIP access.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep your wristband or proof of check-in visible for VIP access into Circus Bar.
- Circus Bar is lively and loud — pick an outdoor doorway or the bar counter as a clear regroup point.
- Carry small cash for novelty buckets or quick bar items; card acceptance can be slower late at night.
Shush Bar Ios — silent disco
Third stop at Shush Bar, the island's silent disco. Guests receive headphones (three channels available) and enjoy the partnered shot on arrival.
Tips from local experts:
- If you're new to silent discos, ask staff at Shush Bar for headphone channel guidance near the entrance desk.
- Keep valuables secure and in zipped pockets while dancing—the venue fills quickly in peak hours.
- If you prefer a quieter spot, move toward the edge of the dance area where sound bleed is lower.
Disco 69 — VIP nightclub entry on the top square
Fourth stop includes VIP entry to Disco 69 on the top square in Chora. Dance and enjoy the partnered shot with an international crowd.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive at Disco 69 as a group to maintain VIP entry together—staff admit groups on arrival to the VIP area.
- Top square venues can be warm; use the square seating zones to regroup if anyone needs a short break.
- Agree on a meeting point outside Disco 69 (e.g., a shop front or statue) in case anyone gets separated.
Sweet Irish Dream — after-club finish
Final stop at Sweet Irish Dream after-club. Free VIP entry before 03:00; the group stays here until the event closes or the 4-hour activity window ends.
Tips from local experts:
- Show your wristband or ticket for VIP entry at Sweet Irish Dream before 03:00 to skip the queue.
- Plan transport in advance — taxis line up on the main road after closing; decide a meetup point for your group.
- Drink water between shots and ask staff for bottled or tap water if needed to stay hydrated through the night.
