Whether it’s a ruin bar, beach club, cocktail bar, local dive, or all-night club – the Mediterranean is unmatched at unique nightlife experiences, with a bit of something for everyone’s vibe. Here are our top bar picks for the best of summer 2022.

Kiva Kiva Bar, Hvar Croatia
Our choice for the best boogie, this legendary bar and mini-club is tucked away in an ancient narrow alleyway of Hvar Town, playing all the best music from classic singalongs to Top 100 to dance the night away in the club or in the streets.

Thanos Cocktail Bar, Ermioni Greece
Ever since he was young, all Thanos wanted to do was make cocktails. And it shows. This mixologist is a master of the cocktail mixing up tasty handmade concoctions from scratch to sip on the cliffside bar at sunset. Our pick is the Thanos Tropical.

Massimo’s Tower Bar, Korcula Croatia
For the most unique of summer 2022, this goes to Massimo’s located atop an ancient Venetian watchtower in Korcula Old Town. Climb the ladder to the top and sit peering over the fortification edge watching the sunset and sipping a cocktail brought up by pulley.

🍴Best Food Experiences🍴

You can’t have a best of summer 2022 list without mentioning the best part of travel – the food! Here are our picks for the food experiences that leave you yearning for more while grabbing the stretchy pants.

Nios Nios, Lakka Greece
A beaming smile and the irresistible scent of the open kitchen make this a true food experience. The waiter shows you all the mouthwatering Greek meals they have for the night from lamb kleftiko to feta-stuffed lemons and flavourful classics.

Hora Farm, Hvar Croatia
Wine tasting on a vineyard surrounded by mountains at sunset, how does that sound? Yup, Hora farm is a food experience like no other as you taste full servings of local wine and feast on farm-to-table food and the Croatian classic peka dish of slow-cooked meats.

Giamas, Poros Greece
Dina and Dimitris run this classic seaside tavern in Poros Greece that holds as much flavourful Greek food as it does love from these two. And that’s a lot! The owners make you feel like family while they dish out delicious food that leaves a table silent, with an optional wine experience beforehand.

Our top pick for the best of summer 2022 activities goes to paragliding in Turkey. Running off a mountain and flying over the spectacular landscape of Ölüdeniz beach and the turquoise waters is a rush like no other.

Watersports, Poros Greece
Ripping around Askeli bay with your mates while trying to hold on for dear life and laughing so hard you have no voice, that’s what this is all about. Jason and his family give a watersports experience geared to make you come out with a permanent smile.
