Dinner in the Sky is an experience like no other. One word to describe it: Spectacular, yes! Imagine being 1000000 feet in the air with the view of a beautiful city enjoying dinner. This definitely set your dinner date stocks high lol. I first learned about this experience from my cousin when she went to Greece. It looked amazing and she highly recommended it.

As you may know, my trip to Athens was a part of a Europe trip with my mother and sister for my sister’s birthday and graduation. We planned to make this setting her birthday dinner, this is also the reason why we chose Athens over other Greek cities. We knew we couldn’t go all the way to Greece and not experience this  

The Load down  

Upon arriving about a half hour early, there is a deck where you can Start indulging in wine and a few finger food. You also sign your waiver form. About 15 minutes before we are schedule to go up they start strapping everyone into their seats.  

Gentle music is playing and everyone is cheering as the crane starts to leave the floor and go into the sky. Throughout the evening you enjoy your 4 course meal as the crane also rotates to that everyone can get a nice picture with the acropolis behind them.
