Dance entertainment in Athens

  1. A

    Remeo+

    The bouzoukia, commonly called skyladika (doghouses) because of the crooning singers, are a Greek institution. Pricey, smoky and a tad sleazy, they are nonetheless packed out most nights. If you're feeling game, try veteran Remeo+ but be warned - prices can be outrageously inflated if you sit at a table, with bottles of whisky sold at exorbitant prices.

    Dora Stratou Dance Theatre

    Each summer since 1965, lively Greek folk-dance performances have been held at the open-air theatre on Filopappou Hill by this leading dance troupe. Some of the elaborate costumes are museum pieces.
