Hi Carol,
Yes, there are a Greek nights in a few different venues, we have caught the end of one in Whispers which was a very professional and fun show.
 
The best by far was in The Marina Hotel, we went along and enjoyed our meal anticipating the show to come.   The dancers came on, their faces familiar, then it dawned on us it was the staff from the Hotel themselves!  This made it funny as well, as there was a lot of banter (and whistling) going on.

We noticed signs for Greek nights outside other tavernas as well, so I'm sure you will not have to look or walk far.

Have fun,

Eileen

Hello Carol,
                 Eileen is quite correct,quite a few of the tavernas do have greek nights (they seem to take it in turns).One of the best evenings we had though was in the bar at the cross road(by the phone)they had a live group playing one night they were very good.the lead singer looked like Jeff Goldbium

:D Well Eileen you where right.What a show :wink: If only i was 20 years younger :? On the friday night we went to the Marina Hotel for our evening meal and were told that on the saturday there would be Greek Dancing, so we booked our table and went along.There were two young men one 21 and the other 16 and there was a young girl.They were brilliant especially the 21 year old :D .He was fantastic.At first they danced in the black and white clothes they were wearing.Then they changed into traditional costume,then the older of the boys did fire dancing which was briliant and to finish off he did Zorba the Greek barefoot with a hat on and it lasted just over one hour and was 1 of the high lights of our holiday. :D  Just make sure you book your table at the Marina Hotel on a saturday night.It was a show NOT to be missed.  Carol and family staying at Sea Breeze  :P  8)

We stayed at Arillas Bay apartments, with my sister and family (Carol) and my mum and dad and had a great time. The people in Arillas are lovely, the food is excellent and the village is so relaxed, you feel very comfortable there. The Greek Dancing at Marina's was fantastic. They really know how to put on a show there which you will remember! We tried quite a number of tavernas, all were good in my opinion, but we would recommend, Kostas on the Beach (a bit of a wait, but that's due to its popularity and its nice to sit opposite the sea in a nice atmosphere anyway!), Armourada - friendly people and good food - they made a nice fuss when we celebrated my fiance's birthday there!, Arillas Inn (very nice food and wine) Pontafina (sorry dont know if I have spelled it right!), the Sea Breaze with its lovely setting (say hello to Nikos 1 and 2, if anyone is going there soon!) Marinas (with the Greek dancers thrown in) and Brouklis (of course!) the prawns are excellent there!...one thing I definitely miss is our evening meals!
The sea is warm and shallow (and if you have a windy day, try to go in the sea as the waves become quite high and will pick up which is great fun!)!  :P

For the uninitiated, for an excellent night of Corfiot traditional music and dancing, try the Marina hotels fabulous Greek night on Saturday evenings! Remember to book a table so you can have a good spot to watch the divine Telis do his high-kicks!
