According to the owner, Skiadas Kostas, “Myga also offers a huge variety of rum from all over the world – about 100 labels – with which we create unique and tasty cocktails.” As for the music, it moves between various styles of international tunes, played by a different DJ every night. Once a month, Myga hosts particularly prominent international DJs, who pump up the crowd with their musical prowess.

The atmosphere and the jazz music at The Last Butler will take you straight back to the 1920s Prohibition era. The decor is characterised by wood and stone, with vintage Art Deco elements. “The cocktail list contains 16 signature drinks and is refreshed every six months. We focus on taste as well as on the appearance of the cocktails,” says manager Yannis Morfopos. You can find The Last Butler on Amarantou in Rhodes.

A few metres from the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, at the corner of Sokratous 179 and Ippodamou, Sissitio is the perfect place to relax after a day exploring the Medieval city of Rhodes. It boasts a long list of innovative cocktails and other drinks that you can enjoy in its quaint pebbled courtyard.
