Venue Detail
Da Vinci Bar Club on Apollo Party nights
About this venue
When Da Vinci Bar Club locks hands with the organizers of Apollo Party Chania, the venue sheds its standard, touristy cocktail skin and mutates into Crete’s historic, premier queer oasis. As the island's first and only dedicated recurring gay club night, these summer takeovers bring an electric, history-in-the-making energy to a sleek, intimate indoor space. Devoid of attitude and bursting with pure community pride, it is a high-vibe sanctuary where you can request tracks directly to the DJ booth via their website while throwing back meticulously crafted cocktails alongside travelers and hidden local queer royalty.
