Salsa in Athens
Greece
Salsa in Athens gives you 11 events a week, and all 11 are weekly socials. Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights, with 3 parties each. Thursday adds 2 more, and Sunday, Monday and Tuesday each carry one, so you can dance six days out of seven. Most socials run in Latin bars and clubs, several with a Cuban feel, and many floors mix salsa with bachata (12 bachata events run in the same city, plus 2 kizomba nights). The scene leans Cuban and casino style, so wheel dancing is common. Coming alone is normal here; locals rotate partners from the first song. Use the schedule by day below to plan which night fits your trip.
