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.Another Greek word ‘Economia’ means spending wisely. You can enjoy all our tasty Greek treats lovingly prepared with the freshest ingredients, all at affordable prices.
Our families and friends have all come together donating a lot of love, time and ingredients. The result is the world’s tastiest Greek delights that draws somany different people to the Oakland Greek Festival.
We have homemade Baklava, Moussaka and even flaming Saganaki cheese for you to try. Then dance it off with our live Greek bands.
Visit Greece by the Bay just by driving (or running) to the Oakland Hills and park in our multi-level Parking Pavilion. Atop the newly expansive Pavilion on the Platia (plaza), you will find our famous view of the Bay. It’s the real Greek experience.
