Where is the party ?
 
Summer '98
 
1) E.O.T. Beach Alimou : This is a Greek Turism Organization's beach.It is located in Alimos, an area near Piraeus.There you can find some parties in summer almost every Saturday night.

2) E.O.T. Beach Boula : This is a Greek Turism Organization's beach, too.It is located in Boula, an area near Glyfada, a major near-beach meeting point.The parties organised here are less than the parties organised in the first beach.

3) +Soda Summer Club : This is the summer club of a major House club of Athens.It is located near the area of Glyfada and Boula.

 
Winter '97-'98
 
1) Alsos Club : The most serious and colorful mindblasting psychedelic machine in Greece.Located in the Pedio Areos, in Alsos Theatre.Last year was inside Camel Club (Bouliagmenis) after Christmas. But this year has returned to it's original position with 4 stages, many projectors and great decoration.The people are 14-40 years old with the majority to be 18-24.
The crew organizing the parties every Saturday night is called Sunrise Zone and the Alsos Club seems to be their favorite place.
The crew organizing the parties every Sunday evening (6 pm) is called Amorphia/Brainstorm.

2) Battery Club : Located on the national road Athens-Lamia (Kifisou 100) is the winter home for the Trancemedia crew.With great visual effects, lazers, projectors, etc. and 20 KW of sound, this place is a real bomb.The people are 14-20, mostly, and they are frenzy, for sure ! Total psycho, with Psychedelic/Tribal/Progressive Trance playing.

3) Berlin Club : Last year played almost everything, mainly techno/house.This year plays Psy Trance, in a program that is called "History of Trance" in Saturdays.Beside the commercial part of the name, i think it is going to play some oldies Psy/Goa Trance.Every Friday progressive house/techno.

4) +Soda Club : The house experience.I've gone just once.If you like house and you've heard Goa/Psychedelic Trance and don't like it, it's a nice selection.Located near Monastiraki, i think it have very good equipment.People are mostly young, that is very young, i mean 14-17 is the majority there.

5) Factory Club : I've never been there.Basic house/techno stuff, i think.There is a major possibility some of them visited Mykonos last summer.I bet you haven't missed it ! Except Mykonos, Factory is located near Gkazi, on Pireos street.Homosexuals and people over 20 can be found there.

 

Raving in Greece
 
History Rave in Greece started the same years Europe was developing techno/hardcore.House followed the road after discos, which is in my opinion almost logical.For a few years some people were in the scene, almost underground.When suddenly something extremely lethal found and heard.Psychedelic Trance.In a few months hundreds of young people started to whisper this two words and their meaning became a common secret.A lot of people followed this sound and few others the rest rave scene.   

Nowadays Today many clubs play rave and different styles.Bigger clubs make parties with Trance and smaller with House.In some dance stages of the above, you can hear jungle, breakbeat, techno etc.Big or outdoor parties are almost for Trance.Places like a forest or a beach is very common. 

News 13/6/98 Some people making a camp-party in the forest of Steni Eboias were ambused by policemen carrying guns in 6/6/98.They shoot everywhere not having in mind the state of consciousness of the envolved.Policemen spoke of  "tents with both sexes" and "drugged youngsters" and they showd some people on TV who were named as "Johny the raver" or "Mother of a raver" etc. There were about 300 people there and the police took under custody 32 of them for possesing drugs.For this reason EVERY party that was programmed for today's night was canceled.
