Another attempt at Alvin Ailey!


After Lycavittos Hill, the day wasn’t over. We still had our second chance of seeing Alvin Ailey. So once again, we headed to the bottom of the Acropolis and experience much better luck than the night before! We arrived early so we could stand at the front of the line to get great seats because there was no seating assignment for the tickets that we bought. We ended up almost at the very front and the weather was holding!! When it came time to be let in, we pretty much stormed the place to get the best seats (which we pretty much did!)

We got the bottom seats of the top section so we won’t have anyone in front of us to block our view. The show was amazing and the dancers did a great job. We didn’t know what was happening most of the time as the performance told a story and I don’t read dance but it was really good.

Towards the end of the middle of the show, we got a little bit of ran and oh was it a sight to see the whole crowd whip out their umbrellas!


We had a short delay because of it but the dancers were able to come back on stage and finish their performance. It was another fun night in Athens!
