Thalassa is a multi-sensory experience which offers customers stunning views, classy Mediterranean décor, and authentic Greek cuisine and hospitality. But, it is when the sun sets that the magic truly begins. Soak in the Greek entertainment vibe with traditional and celebratory dances like the Sirtaki and Zorba. Enjoy the live cabaret performances, carnival dances and fire shows that make Thalassa stand out from the rest of its contemporaries. One of the highlights here is the custom of smashing plates and showering flowers on all those who are part of the celebrations.
For those who want to unwind after these exhilarating acts, shop at their on-site store for home décor, clothing, jewellery and other items made by artisans. If you want to jazz up your wardrobe or buy a thoughtful gift for your loved ones, chances are you won’t leave empty-handed.

LPK stands for “love, passion and karma” so it should be no surprise that this lively nightclub is famous for its loud music, delectable food and drinks menu, and comfortable seating for patrons. What catches the eye immediately upon entering the venue is that the place is surrounded by water on three sides and has an unusual mud and stone architecture. It is not a run-of-the-mill modern building but is sculpted from the inside to form a cave-like structure, which makes grooving to Bollywood music and English chartbusters inside this unique space a memorable experience.
