We thoroughly enjoyed our experience! The dancers, musicians, costumes and joy were all so very special!
Traditional music and dances, not flashy. The complexity and subtlety of steps is their professionalism
It would be helpful if directions could be generated and shared with those purchasing tickets for this event because the signage within the Old City to locate the outdoor theatre was poor. We had difficulties finding our way there but wow, what a show! Highly recommend this cultural experience! Pat
I love the show very authentic and professional a great experience
Fantastic experience! Amazing dancers and such beautiful costumes. Just a wonderful thing to do on our first night in Athens.
It was a beautiful show but there could be more interaction with the audience because the space allows it. The audience could participate dancing for a few minutes
Nice experience to hear regional Greek music and dances from all over the country and islands. Shame you do not understand what singers are singing about. Get ready, no sirtaki. Bring a sweater also in September!
Costume, performers, musicians and dancers come together for a well made performance of the history of the Greek dance. It is stunning!
Beautiful costumes Nice dancing Wonderful venue Nice staff Great location Lots up uphill climbing Dances from Different areas of Greece
Cultural experience in Athens that I highly recommend, the music is live and the outdoor theater, at the box office are very friendly.
