English Greek-myth theatre at Koilon Theater under the Acropolis. 75 minutes, $35, rooftop terrace, comedy, tragedy, and myths.
“This is so fantastic! The performance was great and for being outside they provided blankets for warmth which was also so appreciated. The acropolis/parthenon view in the background behind the performance also really boosts this- such a neat view.”
A 2-hour Greek Wedding Show in Fira with live music, dance lessons, wine and meze, and classic plate smashing at the finale.
“It was so much fun! The interaction is great and very lively. They engage you throughout the show. You learn about the music, traditions, food, and dances. You get to participate. A lot of fun and opportunities to take pictures.”
Open-air Ancient Greek theatre performance in Athens near the Acropolis, in English, with myth scenes, comedy, and a great night view.
“This is a must-see performance. The theater was right under the Parthenon…easy to find and in a lively neighborhood with plenty of dining options. My family and I really enjoyed it. You don’t need to be a Greek mythology buff to get the plots…it’s laid out as the performance rolls on…the actors were energetic, super talented….and the drama was super fun, educational, motivational and really entertaining.”
An interactive Greek wedding show in Santorini with live music, meze snacks, Santorini white wine, and crowd-led dance and plate smashing.
“This show was truly amazing and the staff were so friendly. It really felt like we were apart of a Greek Wedding lol. The snacks and wine were great and the setup was super cute!!! I loved breaking the plates. Super fun experience.”
Guided off-road day trip from Agios Nikolaos to Kritsa, Lassithi Plateau, olive oil tastings, and Zeus Cave area, with lunch included.
“Awful experience. Your operator was unable to pick us up from location and refused to refund us. I would not book this excursion.”
Rhodes sunset cruise on Romantika with Kalithea Bay swim, gourmet Greek buffet, open bar, and live music. Value at $89.
“alAbsolutely amazing trip! the crew were perfect in every way, friendly and very attentive! we visited for my wife's 40th Birthday and this did not disappoint. Food was great and the live music fantastic! even a last minute proposal, made the evening! (congratulations) Thank you so much!”
See Athens lit up from the bus, then enjoy dinner in Plaka with live Greek music and dancing in a fun, small-group evening tour.
“Drive thru lights of Athens was very pretty. 20+ year old group leader told us we would just have a “short” walk to dinner from the bus, oh maybe 6 or 7 blocks! To a 20 something, no sweat. To an 80 year old with a heart condition may mean death, especially when the 6or 7 blocks turn into all uphill. Can’t recommend this tour to older people.”
Land Rover trip to Lassithi Plateau with Zeus mythology, hands-on pottery, olive tasting, and a Cretan meze lunch, ending with Dam views.
“We had THE BEST, most authentic day on our tour with Petra. On the day of the tour, we had just spent 3 days in Athens and ten days in Crete and thought we had seen and learned it all... but Petra was the sweetest, most informative guide I’ve ever met! We enjoyed fresh, local food and we were shown a side of Greece we only wished for. Definitely our best day of the whole trip by far!”
Rhodes sunset cruise on Romantika Dreams with Kalithea Springs swim, live music, Greek buffet, and unlimited local wine for $53.
“Had a great time, rose and white wine available. Swim stop you can jump off and snorkel which was fun. Food buffet was just what you needed and plenty for everyone. Live music on the way back was great atmosphere, beautiful.”
Santorini Greek Night in Kamari: 3-hour dinner buffet, unlimited drinks, live Greek music, and interactive folk dancing.
“Try and learn traditional Greek dancing, say Hi to others visiting Santorini sitting next to you at the table”
Solve a 5th-century Athens murder in English with clues and puzzles in 1 hour, near Monastiraki Metro.
“Outstanding! our guide was fun and interactive. Perfect nighttime activity for families after a long day of sight seeing.”
Guided day trip from Heraklion to Kera Monastery, Lassithi Plateau windmills, Psychro ceramics, and a Cretan village lunch.
“Amazing trip all round. The guides were lovely and welcoming. The coach had Aircon. The stops were great to see in the plateau of the mountain range. Great value.”
Rhodes sunset dinner cruise with cocktail open bar, Kallithea Springs swim, Greek buffet and live music, small-group boarding in Mandraki.
“Good sunset, good food and good swimming. The live musicians were good but very hard to hear upstairs on the boat”
A 1-hour English murder mystery in central Athens, with clues about everyday Ancient Greek life and a great view of the Acropolis.
“We decided on a whim to go as a family of a 4, with a 3 year old and a 1.5 year old. To our surprise, We were the only group that had signed up and we basically had the entire event to ourselves. The Actor was very passionate and brought the story to life, he even got our 3-year-old and our 1.5 year old involved. We had a great time, would have obviously been better if we didn't have the children so we could focus more on the storyline. But nonetheless, we had a great time. We learned some historic Greek things along the way!”
Hoplite training in Athens. Walk near the Acropolis, spar with replica weapons, and learn Persian Wars tactics in 2 hours outdoors.
“It was amazing! We had a lot of fun learning about Spartan battle techniques and then trying them out on each other!”
