I recall the stunning sea views from its elevated balcony in Naoussa, especially as the sun began to dip below the horizon. The cocktails were meticulously crafted and presented, and the atmosphere in this historic spot felt both chic and relaxed.

The striking pink facade of Linardo in Naoussa's old port is instantly recognizable, and inside, the energy is infectious. This is where I found myself dancing late into the night, enjoying the lively atmosphere and the sea views from its unique location right by the water.

For a full-day experience transitioning into a vibrant party, Punda Coast was a highlight. With its large pool and ample lounging areas by the golden sand, it was easy to settle in for the day, and as the afternoon progressed, the music intensified, transforming it into an energetic beach club perfect for dancing.
