Why organise your Women Only Holidays to Skala Eressos?
Established venues in Skala Eressos include the ever-popular Tenth Muse Bar in the main square (plateia) of Skala Eressos. Lena and her staff have been busy making some new changes to the bar, which include a fresh coat of paint! Light colors have been chosen and the bar looks like new! The Tenth Muse serves breakfast / lunch and Lena will definitely host her very well known parties again this summer!
Aqua Bar opened its doors last summer and is the new hot spot of Vikki, former owner of Fuego Bar. Lazy lounging on the terrace in the daytime with breakfast / lunch and sunshine! In the evening the bar transforms itself into dancehall with guest dj's and of course the latest music keeps you dancing for quite a few hours.

Located literally ON the beach is the very popular Moon Kantina.
