Greek Night

I thought the Greek night in Zia was excellent. We went with Harriet Travel from Kardamena (who were excellent and when I was ill during another trip we booked with them were very kind and helpful) cost €27 which is much cheaper than with our reps. Food was fine, a good way to sample a bit of everything, wine was ok. The performances of Dancing and singing were excellent but I think to get the most of out of it you need to join in when they get the auidence involved in the dancing. They are easy steps and the majority of people join in so don't be afraid! The place was only about 2 thirds full so wasn't packed at all like some others were syaing in their comments. The sunsets are spectacular from Zia. It was one of our best nights out in Kos!

The music and dancing were excellent. The food was varied, good and there was plenty of it. The wine was better than last time we were there two years ago. It is a little crowded but we had enough room to be comfortable even though it was full. Everyone seemed to be getting into the spirit of it and having a good time.

Would have been quite a good night but it was too crowded, our party got split up because there wern't enough seats and the food was dissapointing.Some young people got very drunk and spoilt the rest of the evening. The band and dancers were very good however. It wasn't cheap and I would not go again.

sorry about my last comment i forgot to move the dots about.

My parents went to the greek night and came back off their faces. they said it was great and made loads of new friends. especially "the Guv'nor" if your reading this you will probably know who you are.

Compared to tother Greek Nights which I've been on, this is by far the best. When you visit Kos, most excursions to "Greek Night" got to the same venue called "Fantasia"

Fantasia is set up in the mountains which means that you can take in the fantastic views of the neighbouring islands to the north of Kos and all around its coastline too. If you're really lucky, you'll get up there in time to catch the magnificent sunsets which are certainly not to be missed!!

The food is okay, obviously not out of this world when cooking for people on such a large scale, but definitely edible and a good way to sample a variety of traditional greek dishes. The wine isn't bad either, like I say I've been on this type of excursion before and its better than the vinegar that they usually serve!!

The main reason for going however has to be the entertainment!! 4 amazing greek dancers, numerous costume changes, a traditional bouzouki band... Brilliant!! A night not to be missed!!

It was a very good experience. Our tour rep took us shopping and viewing of the sunset in the mountains of Zia. It cost 38 euros which was a bit pricey compared to other tour companies. Despite that the entertiamnent was fantastic - live music, passionate singers and very talented dances. One of the male dancers lifted a whole table by his mouth! and balanced three glasses of water on his head whilst going around the room! The dancers encoraged people to dance on stage in a co-ordinated way. The food was very varied..not much to go around each table though, however it was tasty and represented most of greek cuisine. Also in the night, one can see Turkey across the waters. They also took pictures on entering the venue and at the table ..of course you will have to pay for them if you like them. Some people went mad on the unlimited wine, but there was a penalty of 80 euros if you got sick on the coach. Overall we loved it

cheap food and very cheap wine, they don't care about you because people don't go back twice because it's too much money. don't do the same mistake don't go!

If you're thinking of doing this go with a local agent & not your rep. Our Rep charged us 36 euros, when we could have got it for 24.

I expected loads of food, but there wasn't that much - what we did get was really nice though. Free flowing wine, which is like Lambrini. They do sell bottled beers though.

I also ecpected to be amazed by the greek dancing etc - it wasn't that good & not even 1 plate smashed.

Reps were going on about this lovely sunset too, but our coach was late & we had to watch it out of the coach window.

Still enjoyed myself though - apart from the reps treating us like kids, giving us a password to get on the coach & going on about face painting etc.

This was the worst night of our holiday, an expensive mistake! Food was disgusting and took ages coming. Not really what we expected. Chairs uncomfortable sitting on them for 3 hours, was too much! Kids were bored, wine and orange squash naff. The best part of the evening was the coach taking us back.

The greek night in Zia offered a unique look at the surrounding
islands - and as it was sunset, it was beautiful. There are some
really nice goods on sale in Zia - so remember to take some
money ( we only took 12€ and wanted to buy quite a few things)

The Meze is disappointing - my girlfriend used to live in Cyprus
and had them all the time - she was VERY disappointed with the
selection of food.

The wine was both free flowing and nice to drink - not to dry or
woody like retsina can be.

The band and dancers are both excellent - i got up dancing and
found it very easy to pick up - tho that may have been the drink.

Its a good night out, tho quite expensive.

For 35 euros including transport and I presume hefty reps commission, we expected the best. Well the dancing and music was fantastic and infectious, and the location superb, but the food to us was a great disappointment. We expected a full Meze, but although it started OK with appetizers, we then got a single kebab each with some rice. No chops, no stifado, no kleftiko. If you're a big, easily pleased plonkaholic then its probably better value than we found it.

Went on my own. easily made friends and got really drunk..loads of wine and dancing. What ever you do though on the coach ride back is dont be ill. its 100 euros fine if sick.. Lucky I was ok. Good Views of sunset. take a camera or video even better. loads of local stores too. best to get your herbs and spices here in Zia..

Very Entertaining and the music is great even though you cant understand one word of it, the greek dancers are really enthusiatic and the costumes are great. Really nice view. The only downer for me was the food, if you are like me and are a fussy eater you wont like it, obviously it is all greek food and you have no idea what you are getting so if you dont like it, it is tough basically. But overall is a great night out!

In general we don't like to do the touristy thing, so the thought of being surrounded by about 200 other Brits on holiday didn't really appeal. However, if you want to go on the Greek night at Zia, this is what you have to expect, and we really enjoyed it! There's a two course meal, wine on tap all night, just keep going and filling your jug from the barrel, and there's a live Greek band (you should see the guy playing Zorba the Greek, you'd swear he was faking it!) and Greek dancers in traditional costume. They encourage everyone to get on the stage and dance with them, something we never thought we'd do, but the music is that infectious, you really can't help yourself! At the end of the night, one of the dancers grabs someone out of the crowd and, shall we say, dances with them in a very unique way, I won't tell you how cos it'll ruin the surprise if it happens to you. It happened to me, and I'll never forget it for as long as I live! All I'll say is "Ladies, to improve your chances of sharing this unique 'dancing' experience, wear a short skirt!!!!!"

this was the first greek night that i have been on and it was greet,food wine dancing fun.
