Plaka «Neighborhood of the Gods»
Plaka, Athens’ oldest and most picturesque neighborhood, is the area right underneath the Acropolis. Set among Syntagma sq., Monastiraki, the Ancient Agora and Thissio, the Amalia Ave. and the Makriyianni area, is also known as the «Neighborhood of the Gods».
Located under the Acropolis, its charming atmosphere is spread all around the narrow streets. A history of 6.000 years among the ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman monuments, neoclassic houses and 19th centuries villas, is quite an attractive walk to take.
