It is not in Attica but it is a beach bar that has written many pages in the history of summer nights. For over 20 years Cariocas has been the reason we get in the car to attend its legendary parties. Cariocas opened in 1998 and since then some of the biggest names in the electronic scene have passed. From Frankie Knuckles, Louie Vega, and David Morales, to Joe Claussell, Gilles Peterson, Francois K, and Ron Trent. The name ‘Cariocas’ came from the great love of the family in Rio de Janeiro, which is why you will see the Brazilian flag waving in the air. You will not travel imaginatively to an island in the Cyclades but the country of Latin America.
