Dinner in the Sky Athens lifts you 40m above Technopolis for a rotating Greek 6-course dinner with unlimited drinks and Acropolis views.
“I had an amazing experience. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They greet you immediately upon arrival. They provide you with great complimentary drinks and time to socialize. They explain the process prior to be seated. Once you are seated and in the air, the experience is magical. The views alone are worth the price of admission. The food was delicious! The flavor profiles of the food were top tier. My favorite food was appetizer and salad because it had flavor I never had before. I met, socialized, and enjoyed the company of all of the people. The Chad and wait staff was amazing. The experience was a 10/10…”

“This was the highlight of our athens trip. it was very windy but it was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, the chef was very kind to keep both my husband and my allergies dining, the waiters were personable, fun and made the experience extra specisl.

“Niki was amazing. She took her time, answered questions and did a great job keeping our girls engaged. The restaurant was beautiful and the staff was great. The food creations were perfect, we will certainly try to recreate these at home!”
Athens at night by coach, floodlit Acropolis photo stop, then a Plaka dinner show with Greek music, dancing, and a meal.
“First of all, we wasted half an hour because some people did not come and others came late. Second, it is no longer funny to tell tourists that the police will chase us if we park here. Most travellers know the rules for big buses. Third, not enough of the history and background of places seen/visited was given. Much emphasis was given to the Greek Taverna we would visit for dinner. Here, I need to say, that the operator HAS to make it clear that the area where we went for dinner is not for the disabled, the elderly, or the mobility impaired. Steep, narrow streets, chock a block with…”

Private Delphi and Meteora day trip from Athens with Thermopylae and UNESCO sights, plus an included Greek dinner and hotel pickup.
“Dallas was an excellent driver. He came to pick us up on time, and provided excellent instructions at each stop. He told us about each place we visited, and we had excellent conversations with him throughout the day. My family walked through Delphi (museum and archeological site) and Meteora (including visiting inside one monastery). We are very glad that we did this trip. The feast dinner at the end of the day was very welcome; we enjoyed the home-like cooking and homemade wine. There were several gas station stops during the long day for bathroom breaks and for stretching. I would recommend people to pack a lunch because there really…”
Up to 8 people, 4.5 hours of Athens street-food tastings: pies, loukoumades, honey, PDO cheeses, souvlaki, and local tips.
“This is at the top of the list when travelling in Athens. The guide was very knowledgeable, went above and beyond for us the whole experience. The food we tried was from places we would have easily missed, and it was just perfect. Everyone we met was so kind and accommodating. The whole experience was a 10/10 and a must do when in Athens. Be very hungry, it is very filling.”
