Island Cocktail Time

Agia Anna may be small but it still had quite a lively night life. My two favorite places to visit after dark were the Island Bar and Kahlua Bar. The one we frequented the most was the Island Bar with its trendy beach interior with white sofas, wooden dance floor and candles adorning the place added to its cool atmosphere. There are also amazing views looking out over the lit up ocean.

It may be slightly on the expensive side for Agia Anna as the cocktails cost around €8, but it is certainly made up for in the measures, with one of the strongest Mojitos I've ever tried. It certainly doesn't take long to get in the mood to dance like you've never danced before, which we often did.

The DJ usually starts off the evening with pop and hip hop tunes but as you cross over midnight the vibe becomes more 'dancey'. You could easily forget you were in this small village in Naxos and instead feel like you were in Ibiza.

The other bar was Kahlua, a small walk from Agia Anna this cocktail bar was situated in Agios Prokopios. Again it opted for a similar decor to Island Bar, with white sofas, candles and wooden floors. It too was on the beach front but with a less pretty view of the beach compared to Island Bar.

The cocktail list is perfect with lost of variations of the common favorites. I'm a sucker for a Pina Colada but when I saw they had a Banana Colada I had to try it and I wasn't disappointed, the cocktails are about €8 also.

Kahlua also has its own DJ and played well known club classics and songs all night. Like most European countries the nightlife doesn't get going to well after midnight, so if you are looking for a packed dance floor this happens in the later hours. But they are bothperfect places to sit and chill during the early evenings and watch the sunset.
