Authentic atmosphere
Plaka & Anafiotika
Plaka is the oldest and most charming neighborhood in Athens, located at the foot of the Acropolis. Known for its narrow cobblestone streets, neoclassical houses, traditional tavernas, and small shops, Plaka offers a lively yet authentic atmosphere that reflects the city’s history and culture.
Hidden just above Plaka lies Anafiotika, a tiny and picturesque quarter that feels like a Cycladic island in the heart of Athens. Built by craftsmen from the island of Anafi in the 19th century, its whitewashed houses, blue doors, and quiet alleys create a peaceful contrast to the busy city below.
Exploring Plaka and Anafiotika is a must for visitors seeking local charm, history, and a unique walking experience beneath the Acropolis.
