You’ve heard the stories. You’ve seen the Instagram posts. But how does the Life Is a Beach Party Bar Crawl actually work?
Whether you’re a first-timer in Ios or a returning veteran, here’s your full insider guide — from sign-up to sunrise.
🏁 Step 1: Get Your Wristband
First things first: grab your Official Life Is a Beach Party wristband. You can get it online before your trip and collect from one of the LIABP team when you arrive in Ios.
Why? Because the wristband gives you:
-
✅ Free entry to the bar crawl
-
✅ Free shot on arrival at every venue (when on the bar crawl)
-
✅ Exclusive drink deals
-
✅ Discounts across Ios nightlife
💬 Pro tip: Buy it early — bar crawls often sell out, especially in June, July and August.
📍 Step 2: Meet the Crew
On bar crawl day, meet your hosts and fellow partygoers at the starting bar, usually one of Ios’ iconic pre-drink spots like NioFusion or FunPub.
You’ll get your welcome shot, meet the team, and start warming up with games, icebreakers, and hilarious challenges.
💡 Insider tip: Come with an open mind — it’s one of the easiest ways to meet people from all over the world.
🍻 Step 3: Let the Crawl Begin
Once everyone’s hyped up, the crawl kicks off. The LIABP team leads the group through 4–6 of Ios’ best bars and clubs — each one chosen for its vibe, music, and energy.
Expect something different at every stop:
-
Shots & games at the first few bars
-
Dance-offs & drink specials midway
-
A full-on party finale at one of the island’s top clubs
💬 No waiting in lines, no entry fees, no stress — your wristband handles it all.
🎨 Step 4: Themed Nights & Special Events
Each crawl comes with a theme. From Neon Glow and White Party to Toga Night, you’ll be dressing up, painting up, and partying up with the whole crew.
And when the timing’s right, you might hit special events like Swedish Midsummer, Australia Day, or Norwegian Day, where the entire island joins in.
💡 Pro tip: Ask your LIABP hosts what theme is next — they always have something wild planned.
🕺 Step 5: The Big Finish
The crawl always ends at one of Ios’ legendary nightclubs — like Disco69 or Sweet Irish Dream — where the dance floor goes off until sunrise.
By this point, everyone’s friends. The drinks are flowing, the beats are pumping, and the night turns into a blur of laughter, music, and pure Ios magic.
💬 You’ll never forget your first bar crawl sunrise.
🌴 Step 6: Do It All Again
The Life Is a Beach Party Bar Crawl runs every night of the week throughout the summer. And trust us — one night is never enough.
Many travellers come back for round two (or three). Different bars, new people, same insane fun.
✨ Final Thoughts
The Life Is a Beach Party Bar Crawl is more than a night out — it’s the Ios experience. It’s how strangers become friends, how days turn into nights, and how summer memories are made.
So grab your wristband, meet the crew, and get ready for the best night of your trip.
Because in Ios, the bar crawl isn’t just an event — it’s a lifestyle.
