PLAKA

PLAKA

Behind Monastiraki, you will discover the oldest and most cinematic sections of Athens. Plaka, situated in the shadow of the Acropolis, resembles a village within the city or an island —particularly when navigating through the whitewashed homes of Anafiotika and traditional Greek restaurants, evoking the experience of exploring a Cycladic Chora. Most streets are closed to automobile traffic, making it an ideal place for leisurely strolls and the discovery of culinary gems, historic villas recognized as the priciest residences in Athens, as well as monuments and churches like Agios Nikolaos Ragavas, a small 11th-century domed church that presents a striking contrast to the Acropolis towering in the background.
