Dance the night away at traditional Greek festival

Forget plate smashing, dancing is a Greek tradition not to be missed this summer in Athens.

Starting from May 28 until October 3, Greek dancers perform in authentic costumes to traditional Greek music at the Dora Stratou Theatre, with the Athenian Acropolis on Philopappou Hill as the perfect backdrop.

The annual festival takes place each night for a cost of €15 and also includes traditional Greek songs performed by the dancers.

Each night a different unique dance is created by the dancers in their performance.

The theatre was first set up over 35 years ago and was designed by famous Greek painter Spyros Vassiliou.
