#2 My Crazy Scottish Friends Threw Their Friend A Surprise Stag Party. A Viking Feast In A Ruined Scottish Castle
The first things that pop into your mind after hearing "bachelor party" are decadent party-like-there’s-no-tomorrow kind of parties we see in Hollywood movies. But bachelor parties are so much more than that, and Thanasis Mougios told Bored Panda that it’s a common misconception. Thanasis is the founder and villa specialist at Kinglike, a villa rental and personal concierge service company, active in Mykonos, Greece and in Tuscany, Italy.
“I think that they are mostly looking for a quality and fun long weekend with their friends,” Thanasis said when asked whether bachelor parties from movies have any touch with reality. “People are becoming more and more picky when it comes to selecting the correct property. They also inquire for services such as a good chef, chartering a yacht, a good DJ, and a bartender. Music is of utmost importance at bachelor parties.”

Having said that, Thanasis added that they also receive inquiries for male and female strippers, but he doesn’t think this is the norm. “So, based on my experience, the answer is, no, what we see in the movies is not always repeated in real life when it comes to bachelor parties.”
Since Kinglike is active in the villa rental industry, Thanasis said they “keep noticing an increasing interest in renting a luxury villa for the bachelor party weekend. We receive inquiries both from the male and female audience, but I must admit that the ladies are requesting more often lately.”
If Thanasis definitely has to name one trend, from their perspective, that would be: “more bachelorette than bachelor parties taking place in luxury villas.”

Just like planning any occasion, often it doesn’t go without some mistakes. “The most common mistake that I have noticed is that they always prefer to come in the peak season,” Thanasis said and explained that at this time, “the island is full of people, everything costs double and, inevitably, service providers are busier, which may lead to a worse customer experience.”
“If I were the organizer of a bachelor party, I would definitely select to do this either very early or late in the summer season, when everything is more relaxed and the attendees could enjoy themselves more (and pay less),” he concluded.
