A fight had broken out between two groups which included some of the bar staff.
The main street of Laganas is often the scene of obscene and rowdy behaviour by drunken tourists.
Officers arrested a 34-year-old Greek barman and a 32-year-old British bouncer of Serbian origin and said early Friday that they were the main suspects in the deadly beating.
Police later announced they had arrested two 22-year-old Serbian nationals after they were identified as having taken part in the brawl.
Seven others were also taken into custody over the fight, police said.
