Excellent show. Great costumes, dancing and music. The cast was excellent and very talented Definitely a must do in Athens

We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the talented cast. We’re so glad you recommend it as a must-do in Athens! Best Regards, Margarita Karavasileiadi
A beautiful dive into Greek culture through dance. I had come more than 50 years ago and found the same pleasure with family. Good job.
The energy of the male dancers was wonderful! Didn't enjoy the second act as much as the first and third but still very good!
Dear Heidi, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Dancing show and that you had such a great time. Hope to see you again in one of our future activities. Best Regards, Margarita Karavasileiadi
Attended with 3 teens while vacationing in Greece. Dancing and music was very professional: slow paced, measured and formal. Expected some audience participation. Maybe not the best choice for kids.
Dont waste money expecting to see dance shows in a tavern! For only 15 euros you get the best company, which researches the etnology of each regional dance and performs them in an open air theather at the Acropolis foothills. Rich costumes and jewelry plus 8 musiciens add to the show!
Dear Guest, I am so happy your enjoyed our service and Dora's Stratou Dancing Show which researches the etnology of each regional dance and performs them in an open air theather at the Acropolis foothills.

Unfortunately, my review is not positive. The dance company cancelled the performance due to weather. The rain lasted about 7 minutes. We stayed in the area for about an hour and the weather was fine. They ticket office refused to reimburse our tickets because we put purchase them on line with Tripadvisor. Not sure how I can get my money back. The management of Dora Stratou is lacking. The customer service is not present. This enterprise along with Tripadvisor's ability to sell tickets that tourists cannot have reimbursed appears to be a scam. Dora Stratou ability to so quickly cancel the event may be considered another scam. We waited time, ticket money, and taxi money. The location is not very accessible.
Dear Guest, Thank you so for your time to send us your respected review. Our core business values make us to completely respect the easiness in which our guests can publicly express themselves. Not to mention that I feel very sorry for not satisfying your expectations on this occasion. At this point I would like to respond to your queries. First of all, the dance company has to cancel the performance even if it rains for some minutes for two main reasons: the one that the seats are wet and second the stage remains slippery and as a result dangerous for the dancers to perform. As regards your refund, I trust you understand that you have to get a refund from the channel where you booked your tickets. I hope this helps and I always remain at your service. Kindest Regards, Dimitris Bistolas | Μanaging Director
Thoroughly enjoyed this show. Best way to end our trip to Athens. Wonderful energy and so entertaining. Being in the lovely outside theatre was a bonus.
Cancelled the show without informing me, they had my mobile number waisted the taxi money to and from from city center.
Well, the costumes were brilliant and the music lovely. The dancers were talented and skilled. However, the choreography was, for the most part, boring. If you were to go to a wedding and repeat the same steps over and over again, it might be fine. However, as a viewer, the amount of repetition made for a lack of interest in the performance. At the end, the dancing became livelier and more varied and consequently, more exciting. Beware! Do not walk in the park to get to the theater but take the sidewalk as much as possible. I got bit by a dog whose owners appeared stoned out of their minds. Pretty upsetting incident.
