Program details
Feast like Zeus, drink like Pan and dance like Zorba when you dine at the 100-year-old musical Neos Rigas taverna in the heart of Plaka. Just a stone’s throw from the towering Acropolis, Neos Rigas has a friendly atmosphere and warm welcome that make it a real home from home from the moment you arrive. With live music and traditional dancing, discover rich folk traditions from all over the islands of Greece without leaving your seat – unless you decide to join in!
Take a seat and peruse the menu while you sip on a glass of wine. Then tuck into juicy meatballs, stuffed vine leaves, or mouth-watering moussaka as an appetiser. There is so much to choose from, so why not do it the Greek way and order one of each? Then it’s time for the mains: succulent spit-roasted pork, lamb fragrant with oregano, or tender chicken in a lemon sauce. Finish your meal with ice cream, and then maybe order a coffee to help you digest. You’ll need all your energy for the next part of the evening.
While you dine, traditional Greek musicians and dancers will spirit you away to an olive grove on an enchanted island. While the bouzoukis play, sit back and enjoy the strutting Zeibekiko dance, the joyous Kalamatiano and of course the infectious Syrtaki, the dance of Zorba himself. If the mood takes you, why not join the dancers on stage and learn a few steps yourself? With a fantastic menu, captivating entertainment and a warm Greek welcome, Neos Rigas promises you a night you’ll never forget.
