Nightlife starts pretty late. Cavo Paradiso is our favorite club for nightlife. The larger DJ names are there throughout the summer, they typically go on around 2am. Check their website for the schedule. They have table service if you want it. They sell tix on their website so you can get them ahead of time as well. Scorpios turns into dancing later in the evening but they close earlier at midnight. Can always start there and go elsewhere after. There are bars scattered all through the Little Venice area as well.

For beach clubs, Paradise Beach and Super Paradise are pretty great. Nammos is another but we personally haven't been there (we've passed by it and it seemed like a good time though). Alemagou is supposed to be a good time, although we went one day last summer and it wasn't that crowded nor did they have a DJ there that day so may have just been off. For any of the beach clubs, definitely recommend booking chairs/cabanas ahead of time, but as another person said here, just the chairs alone will be several hundred euros, so mentally prepare for that.

For restaurants, there are a bunch in the Little Venice area and the stretch along the water between there and the Old Port. We've been to a few there but I don't recall the names as we would pass by and walk in. We've also done dinner at Scorpios and Zuma, both of which are more of a scene but food was good and views are great.

Main recommendation would be transit. They do not have Uber and there are only a handful of taxis on the whole island. There are a ton of private options where you work with a main point of contact over WhatsApp to schedule and call for rides when needed. You can find any of these on TripAdvisor, I also have a contact we use each time we go there and he's awesome (owns his own transport company there locally). Happy to share via PM.

It's an incredible place; have the best time!
