Frommer's Review
Since 1953, the Dora Stratou Folk Dance Theater has been giving
performances of traditional Greek folk dances. Athenians were
alarmed in 1998 when Dora Stratou announced that she might have
to close her company at the end of the 1998 season unless a
promised government subvention materialized. The Dora Stratou
troupe is such an institution that it's almost impossible to
imagine that performances at the Dora Stratou Theater on
Filopappos Hill won't continue. At present, performances take
place May through September at 10:15pm, with additional
performances at 8:15pm on Wednesday and Sunday. There are no
performances on Monday. You can buy tickets at the box office,
Odos Scholio 8 in the Plaka, from 8am to 2pm (01/924-4395, or
01/921-4650 after 5:30pm). Prices range from Dr2,500 to Dr3,500
($8 to $12). Tickets are also usually available at the theater
before performances.
