Take in traditional Greek dancing at the 860 seat open-air Dora Stratou theatre located on Philopappou Hill, opposite the Acropolis. Each performance includes over 75 dancers, musicians and folk singers with an authentic collection of over 2,000 costumes with traditional jewellery that is more than a century old. With each performance representing a different island or province of Greece, you will get a cultural insight into the many forms of traditional Greek dance and of course an uplifting experience in a magical outdoor summer setting.
