Some of the quiet places are Utopia a very nice and comfortable Cyber Café; discotheques like Señor Frog's, Kamy Beach, and Nikki Beach are very popular mostly in high season.
Restaurants und Speiselokale
Um in Porlamar essen zu gehen findest du eine Vielzahl von Plätzen, alles hängt von deinem Geschmack und deinen Vorlieben ab:
Wenn du gerne Fleisch isst, kommt wahrscheinlich eher das Sambil (im Einkaufszentrum) in Frage, wenn dir nach Pizza ist, empfiehlt sich das Restaurant Il Positano, mit seinen vorzüglichen Pizzas, und natürlich (weil ja eine touristisch erschlossene Insel) fehlen auch McDonalds und Wendy nicht …
Semana Santa - Holy Week
The most spectacular session of all the year is the Holy Week. All the people from Venezuela come to the island to party. All the hotels, apartments and other places to sleep are totally ocupied.
If you visit beaches like Parguito and Playa el Agua, or el Yaque you won't be able to walk, there are young people everywhere, looking for fun.
It is normal for discotheques from the main land to open on Margarita Island just for the saisson because here there is no room for all of them
Things to see
In Porlamar there are some museums, the museum Francisco Narvaez is one of the principal places to visit. There is always something nice to see.
You could also visit the Museo Marino, the only detail is that this place is very far away from Porlamar this place is in La Peninsula de Macanao in the other side of the island, but anyway I would recommend you to visit it.
