A Legend Comes to Life
The Zorba the Greek Ballet performs at Paphos Castle on September 26-27. This spectacular show brings Nikos Kazantzakis’ legendary story to the stage.
A Must-See Cultural Event
The performance blends drama, music, and traditional Greek dance. Famous composer Mikis Theodorakis’ unforgettable soundtrack sets the mood. The castle’s historic setting adds magic to the experience.
Why This Performance Stands Out
Professional dancers from Greece’s top ballet companies star in the show. The choreography mixes classical ballet with fiery syrtaki moves. Stunning costumes and lighting enhance the emotional storytelling.
The Perfect Venue
Paphos Castle’s open-air courtyard offers breathtaking sea views. The ancient walls create a dramatic backdrop for the performance. Sunset shows make the experience even more special.

Tickets start at €50 and sell fast due to limited seating. Early booking ensures the best spots through Sold out Tickets Cyprus. VIP packages include premium seats and a program booklet.
Special Pre-Show Activities

Why You Should Attend
