Athens By Night tour
Athens is an entertaining city,
some would say on a par with the great entertainment centers of
the world. On any summer night there are out door concerts from
your favorite rock stars to classical music, ballet, and
Byzantine music, and the Dora Stratou Dancers.
There are giant indoor-outdoor discos and clubs
where the most famous Greek singers perform
nightly to packed houses. In the winter Athens
club scene comes alive with shows ranging from
blues-rock-jazz to traditional Rembetika, laika
and of course punk-rap and whatever is happening
in the west.
The living museum of Greek dance, since 1953,

A non profit institution
subsidized by the Ministry of Culture and the National Tourism
Organization under the auspices of the Municipality of Athens.

Welcome
to our special Greek night show, we will show you the night time side of
Athens,with its ancient buildings lit up. We will take you up Lycabettos Hill
where you will get a birds eye view of the whole of Athens as it is at night.
Enjoy a typical Greek dinner in the
Plaka area with free
local wine from the barrels, and during your dinner enjoy the
folklore dances performed by professional dancers and typical
Greek Bouzouki music. After your dinner, you can join the
dancers, who will teach you how to dance Syrtaki and other folk
- dances.
NIGHTLIFE & ENTERTAINMENT
Athens is virtually a paradise for night owls. Whether
your start with dinner and then hit the clubs or begin with a couple of
drinks before making your way to one of the many live music
establishments, the city is sure to keep you entertained until the early
hours.
The atmosphere in some of the bars and dance clubs has to be seen
to be believed, while a visit to a bouzouki club is an experience not
to be missed.
In
summer in particular, it appears that everyone is out of the town. The
seaside resorts of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni
and Varkiza
and the northern suburb of Kifissia are especially
popular and provide a cool respite form the city.
But
choice is not limited to bars and club. There are countless coffee shops
that stay open until late at night, taverns, restaurants, theatres and
cinemas (both indoor and outdoor).
