Samos is famous for its low-key attitude and has won the hearts of many hikers and nature lovers who have discovered her breathtaking panoramic views into the Aegean Sea from high mountain peaks and villages.

What most visitors don’t discover are the next-level cocktail bars and venues that host glamorous private parties. These venues can accommodate a wide range of events from larger corporate networking events to cocktail hours to intimate cocktail parties.

Cocktail party events in Samos remain unforgettable with the right planning.

How do I book a venue for a party?

Private spaces offering both indoor and outdoor settings will ensure that you will receive the service that you need throughout the night in any weather.

Most venues offer exclusivity for a small fee compared to what you normally see in the more popular spots. For a larger guest list, this might be the only option.

You may choose to book the venue semi-private.

This way you have all the perks of a private space, with the added benefit of experiencing the nightlife with others and saving on the 

exclusivity fees. Bachelorette or stag parties are ideal for semi-private venue bookings.

Appetisers & Wine Tasting Experience

The bartenders are dedicated to providing exceptional cocktails as some of these venues create their very own syrups and bitters.

A cocktail party in Samos is relatively inexpensive compared to the traditional rehearsal dinner night that was traditional for a pre-wedding event, not to mention way more fun!

Even if your menu has high-priced items like caviar, you’re unlikely to break the budget because you’ll only be serving small bites and not entire meals.

Samos is known for its internationally awarded wine and the cocktail party event is the perfect place to introduce the wines to your guests in a wine-tasting experience.

Each venue offers a different type of menu. This is very important when scouting out the options. Be sure to ask for a sample menu as well as the types of drinks/cocktails served with that particular menu. 

The Party Space Details

When selecting the venue make sure that your guest invites are suitable for the space. You do not want an overcrowded or empty venue. Samos offers classic all-day cafe cocktail bars as well as rooftop gastro bars and beachside spaces with private swimming pools. Your venue should match your vibe and the type of element you want to capture. If your venue is on a beach be sure to provide this information on your invites or webpage as your guests will need to know the dress code. One of your questions should also include the rules and regulations of the space and if there are restrictions to the music regarding a specific cut-off time.

 Entertainment & Music

Most cocktail parties are laid back and encourage a lounging and conversational atmosphere. You may desire to have that chill environment or you may be planning on some entertainment and dancing. In either case, hiring a DJ for the night might be a wise choice. In my opinion, you should be prepared to let your guests lead the night. I have seen many chill and rather conservative guests turn wild at cocktail parties. Hiring musical instruments or dancers is also an option for a more introduction-to-Greece-type party. While you are at it, break a couple of dishes!!

Let’s Party!

Cocktail Parties in Samos are the top choice for pre-wedding rehearsals and the best opportunity for your guests to meet and mingle. The cocktail party gives everyone a chance to ask about the destination that you have chosen and get all the information they need from your planner about the location. 

Your cocktail party is going to be an amazing time for your guests. I am always scouting out venues that would be ideal for such events. No matter what your event is for, Samos has a spot for you. Elegant, rooftop, cozy, or coastal, it’s all here.
