Mykonos
Mykonos is definitely the most popular Greek island for a well-deserved post-secondary holiday, due to its undisputed reputation for nightlife, beautiful houses and crystal-clear beaches. For your days by the sea, we recommend the famous Paradise, Super Paradise and Paranga beaches. At the lidos and beaches, the dancing starts already in the early afternoon; you will find people dancing on tables and sunbeds for a daily party that continues until the sun goes down. In this article you will find a guide to what to see and do in Mykonos. A good alternative to Mykonos is Paros, the island of Immaturi, in this article you will find things to do and see.

Ibiza
In the lists of the best destinations for fun, Ibiza certainly cannot be missing. But Ibiza is not only that, you will find unspoilt nature and paradisiacal coves. In this article you will find a guide to things to do and see on the island. A typical day in Ibiza starts late in the morning, after having cooled off from the previous evening's excesses, and already by lunchtime, on the shores of the beautiful beaches you are sipping cocktails and moving to the rhythm of music. In the city that boasts the most famous clubs, discos and DJ sets in Europe, don't miss the disco-bus tour from dusk to dawn.
The discotheque paradise par excellence in Ibiza is Pacha, but don't miss the foam parties at Eden or Privilege. Find all the best parties on the island here.
Lloret de Mar
On the Costa Brava, if you love nightlife, chaos and wild fun, choose one of the most chaotic destinations in Spain, where you never sleep: Lloret del Mar. Between bars, clubs, lidos and squares, every occasion is the right one to party and meet new people. Around the city, don't miss the Santa Clotilde Gardens, similar to Italian Renaissance gardens, overlooking the sea and The Castle overlooking the beach of Sa Caleta. And for the night, there are plenty of discos crowding the city including Revolution, where you will be dazzled by the special effects of lights and smoke. And for exceptional DJ sets the Tropic is the disco for you, with great sets and fun foam parties.
Amsterdam
Whether you've been there before or not, Amsterdam is always worth a trip. Stroll along the canals at a time of unusual houses, monuments and beautiful parks, visit museums, experience it like a true Dutchman, you won't regret it. Get around by bike and enter the Heineken Experience, the famous beer museum, where you can drink a few glasses of the hop drink between visits. Useful addresses for the night include the Sinners, a huge disco on three floors full of mirrors, with a good selection of music and interesting DJsets. Besides the numerous coffee shops, if you want to have a drink, we recommend the Leidseplein district, the top after midnight spot in Amsterdam.
Popivka
Do you know the Republic of Kazantip? It is the kingdom of Black Sea parties. The city of Popivka welcomes over 200,000 young people from all over Europe for a whole month every year.
Kazantip, is a real republic, a huge party organised on the beaches of the Black Sea in Crimea, a party that never stops for a month and which will open on 20 July. For more info https://kazantip.com
Ios
Another unmissable destination for your well-deserved holiday is Ios, in the Cyclades, an island of fun, known in the 1960s as the island of hippies. Between breathtaking views, whitewashed houses, climbs and descents, don't miss the fun places on the island's main road. Reach Manganari on a dirt road; it is the wildest, yet most enchanting beach on the island. And for a good aperitif, head to the crowded Mylopotas beach where music and fun reign supreme from the early hours of sunset. And for the night, at least once, enter the most famous and transgressive disco on the island, Casa 69. Here is a guide to the most beautiful beaches on Ios
Pag
Did you know that there is an island in Croatia where a party goes on all summer long? If you are planning a holiday by the sea, on proper beaches, but getting bored under the umbrella is out of the question, you can have no doubts: head to Pag. Aquarius and Papaya are the main beach clubs that host foreign artists and top DJs. The organisation is the same as the Zagreb clubs of the same name, which move to Pag for the summer. Kalypso Beach Club is also legendary, the first in a long line of clubs to pave the way for Pag's nightlife.
Barcelona
We are madly in love with it, and recommend it to all ages. It is famous for its colourfulness, vibrancy and modernism that ties in well with the Gothic. Take to it its long pedestrianised boulevards in the renowned Gothic quarter, the Ramblas, which frame the city's nightlife.
To relax, head to Barceloneta, where you can enjoy a drink amidst palm trees, small bars and the sea. Don't miss the colourful Boqueria market near Las Ramblas, an array of colours and scents. Apart from the Gothic quarter and its surroundings there are other areas to 'salir de fiesta', especially if you want to make acquaintances. Just above the diagonal between Carrer Balmes and Carrer Casanova is a rich area of bars and discos. Don't miss a transgressive night at Bodega Bohemia, the king of clubs in the city, where between drinks and dance halls you can party until dawn!
London
It's not a bad idea at all to celebrate your graduation, especially if you don't like the sea, head to the multi-ethnic English capital. Visit it on foot (you will have a lot of walking to do). In the city of the coolest clubs and venues in the world, every night is the right night to celebrate, you can even find interesting parties on Mondays. From rock to indie to wild music, in the capital of international clubbing every night you will find a concert and pay a visit to the city's most famous nightclub, the Ministry of Sound! London is also a great alternative for those who want to take a summer language course.
Holidays in Italy
What if we told you Salento? From Gallipoli, Ostuni to Santa Maria di Leuca, don't miss the tour of the entire coast, a wonderful surprise awaits you. And for fun? No problem, every night you will be overwhelmed by the cheerfulness and festive atmosphere of the small towns, the reggae parties on the beach and the numerous open-air discos. Throughout the summer, don't miss the famous travelling festival, La notte della Taranta, featuring the famous Salento dance, music, good wine and lots of fun.
