An island known for romantic weddings and getaway honeymoons, Santorini isn't regularly associated with great island nightlife like its nearby neighbors of Mykonos and Crete. But Koo Club is an obvious exception with its legendary indoor-outdoor dance experience located in the island heart of Fira..
