Oakland Greek Festival

A couple of Greek Pastries (Glyko), and then a couple of sprints around the dance floor. A savory lamb sandwich followed by a stroll through the rich marketplace (Agora). It’s the Greek way - everything in moderation. A real vacation spent in the midst of authentic Greek culture, simply by coming to the Oakland Hills. We have homemade Baklava, Moussaka and even flaming Saganaki cheese for you to try. Then dance it off with our live Greek bands. TOP TEN MUST-DO LIST 1.Listen to live Greek bandswith Souvlaki on a stick. 2.Check out the Agora and the Greek vase replicas. 3.Back to the Platia and find the flaming Saganaki. Shout "Opa!" 4.Learn to Greek dance and sip Retsina on the rocks. 5.Visit the Estiatorio for a piping-hot plate of grape leaf Dolmathes. 6.Enjoy the view and a sizzling, grilled Lamb Sandwich. 7.Tour the Cathedral then the nearby Calamari booth. 8.View a fascinating presentation on Greece then have an iced Frappé. 9.Travel to the Kafenion for authentic coffee and pastries. 10.Say "Yassou" and take home some food-to-go
