Try to visit Tinos island on a daytrip from Athens or for a few days (but not during 15th of August, you will not find even a chair to seat!!- it's the celebration of the Church of the Panagia Evangelistria there) since if you are keen on nightlife and cosmopolitan way of life, it will disappoint you a little bit!
Nevertheless, Tinos is a remarkable beautiful island with so many windmills all round and the locals are really helpful and ready to explain all that you need to know to understand their culture! Both Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic populations co-exist because of the Panagia Evangelistria church, with its reputedly miraculous icon of Virgin Mary makes many pilgrims run their way the 800 metres from the ferry wharf to the church on their hands and knees as sign of devotion. That really made me to shudder and revalue my thoughs and way of life! Relax then with a cup of Greek hot cofee and homemade cherry spoon sweet and enjoy the fascinating view of Aegean sea.
