Candlelit Dinner Swirling with Sirtaki | Dancing the Night Away in Kalambaka, Greece


Kalambaka is less than a 10 minute drive from Meteora, a hidden gem of true Greek tradition

Traditional Dancing | Sirtaki/Syrtaki

Traditional Greek dancing, specifically line dancing is so special to the culture because Greek’s believed that the Gods only gave the talent of dancing to certain people. The dancing includes dancing in lines and circles, constantly hopping and quick foot changes – although it may look easy to do, once you try and jump in you realize how intricate each step is.




The entire group lit up as we watched the locals play traditional music and dance. There is just something about the authenticity of sharing this experience over a candle light dinner vs. going to a rehearsed performance. The quaint size of the room, low lights, and the opportunity to join in on the dances is what really made the night special.

Our Dinner

Our home cooked meal consisted of greek salad, grape leaves, chicken, rice, Moussaka, Papoutsakia, Pastitsio, and so much more. If you want to get some Greek dishes cooking in your own kitchen, try out one of these cook books, it’s not as intimidating as you may think.
