Athens music scene

Athens has one of Europe's most diverse underground music scenes. The Piraeus industrial district and Gazi neighbourhood host some of the continent's most intense techno nights, while Psyrri's narrow streets are lined with rebetiko tavernas playing Greece's answer to the blues. Monastiraki and Exarcheia fill in with rock clubs, reggae bars, and experimental venues.

Live music ranges from intimate rebetiko sets at Klimataria and Hamam to large rock and metal concerts at Gagarin 205 and Fuzz Club. For jazz, Half Note Jazz Club in Mets is the undisputed landmark. Summer brings open-air shows to the ancient Herodion Odeon beneath the Acropolis.

Hip hop and RnB have grown steadily in Athens since the early 2010s, with dedicated nights at venues across Koukaki and the city centre. Electronic music - techno, house, drum and bass - dominates the late-night hours at clubs that regularly host internationally touring artists.
