A once-in-a-lifetime culinary adventure awaits at Dinner in the Sky Athens, an experience that transcends mere dining and elevates it to an unforgettable spectacle. Skepticism about the price and potential "gimmick" factor quickly dissolved the moment we arrived, replaced by an overwhelming sense of excitement and wonder. This is, without a doubt, one of the most incredible experiences Athens has to offer and worth every single penny. From the very beginning, the hospitality is exceptional. We were warmly greeted and thoroughly briefed on the evening's proceedings, all while sipping on a delightful welcome drink. A fellow guest, just disembarking from her own "flight," raved about a Greek cocktail – a concoction of brandy and sparkling grapefruit juice – and her enthusiasm was infectious. I ordered one, and it was so incredibly good that it became my drink of choice for the rest of the evening, enjoying at least four more! Yes, all drinks are included, and I also indulged in a lovely glass of wine. The open-air lounge, complete with a shaded roof, provided a perfect spot to relax and soak in the atmosphere before our ascent. As the time for our culinary journey approached, we were provided with lockers for our belongings, a thoughtful touch. Then came the moment of truth: being seated and securely buckled into our chairs. A practical tip: avoid sandals or any shoes that might easily slip off – you'll want to feel completely secure as you rise above the city. And rise we did! With the group seated and secured, we ascended into the sky, accompanied by an uplifting soundtrack, including the fitting "Sky Full of Stars." The sensation was truly incredible. The staff were not only professional but also genuinely fun, adding to the jovial atmosphere, and happily snapped photos for us upon request. Now, for the food. It was, in a word, delicious. This is not just a novelty; it's a high-end culinary experience. Every dish was prepared with exquisite attention to detail, from a perfectly cooked steak to refreshing, gourmet salads and delectable desserts. The flavors were exceptional, matching the breathtaking views of Athens spread out below us. And don't worry about where you're seated – the entire platform slowly rotates, ensuring everyone gets to experience every angle of the magnificent panorama. I could rave on and on about Dinner in the Sky Athens. It’s an absolute must-do for anyone visiting the city, offering a unique blend of exquisite dining, unparalleled views, and an exhilarating atmosphere. It's an experience that will stay with you long after your feet are back on solid ground.

Read moreThis is the TOUGHEST review I have ever had to write! This should have been the easiest 5 start to give! HOWEVER, the atmosphere and ambience was completely ruined as there was a rap concert performing directly below the Dinner in the Sky (DIS) event. The food was 3 star (especially for the price point), as the dessert was definitely lacking, the watermelon was flavorless and the beef filet lacks flavor as well. The portions were good. All this could have been overlooked ... However, the ambience was completely ruined by the loudness of the concert that was occurring immediately below DIS! As a result of the concert, we were simply unable to hear much of anything, we were unable to communicate with each other and create a shared experience amongst ourselves. The DIS team were fantastic and tried to play 'their' music to override the concert music ... but that just created more chaos and loudness. As luck would have it, the app for the information about the sights we were viewing was not functioning that evening also. So we were unable to view our apps, or hear the DIS team explaining what we were seeing and unable to share together what we were experiencing. With that said, YES, this could be a 4-5 STAR experience if DIS was NOT competing with an incredibly loud concert! Yes, the views are incredible, and the TEAM seems to be outstanding. I can see how this would be a memorable shared experience with friends and family. However, spending 1300 usd so that our friends and I could have our last evening in Athens together, and not being able to create that shared experience was very disappointing. To anyone wanting to book this experience, PLEASE CHECK THE SCHEDULE AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO COMPETING EVENTS THAT WILL FLOOD OVER...
Read moreThis was our first dinner on our honeymoon and it really set the bar for the rest of the trip. The staff was very friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcome, the chef even took photos of and with us! The food was also very delicious--and even better, they were very conscious of my good allergies (you can note it on the web site when you book a reservation) and had special dishes prepared for me which I more than appreciated. We did the sunset dinner which worked a little better with our schedule but I'm sure the later time is just as good because the views are amazing when at the top! Since it was our first night in Athens, it was amazing to get such nice views of the city and the Acropolis, plus they played great music while we were eating. We also felt very safe strapped in to the seats and they do have lockers with keys where you can put your extra things before getting raised up. Just as a forewarning to visitors like us who didn't know the area at all, we did get a little lost finding it and the cab driver wasn't able to locate the exact location on his app so we ended up getting dropped off several blocks away and luckily got some help from people on the way. There wasn't a sign for it until we went through a gate into another square. Best way to find it is to look for the tall steel cylindrical structure with a crane behind it is my advice. This experience alone was totally...
