PLAKA

Tourist hot spot that is always vibey and interesting with a atmosphere of Joy and laughter and much activity between the shop owners and the tourists that flock to the plaka.

lying in the shadow of the Acropolis and its ancient temples, hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes and local ceramics.

Sidewalk cafes and family-run tavernas stay open until late, and Cine Paris shows classic movies al fresco. Nearby, the whitewashed homes of the Anafiotika neighborhood give the small enclave a Greek-island vibe.

Walking through the streets of Plaka and Monastiraki is an adventure full of sounds, colors, and scents away from the city noise. Kids will love exploring the streets in Plaka because many of them are pedestrian areas without cars.

The beautiful marbled streets host many handicraft shops and traditional Greek restaurants. The quieter narrow alleys reflect the historical Athens with beautiful old houses and buildings in authentic Mediterranean colors.

Your family will love strolling through these areas.
