The neighbourhood is an historic centre, full of beautiful buildings, Byzantine churches, little touristy shops, café, bars and taverns (Greek restaurants). One will surely enjoy walking around in the small streets of Plaka, even in the summertime when it is, we must admit, quite crowded with tourists. Plaka is the neighbourhood from where you can reach numerous must-sees of the city, like the Ancient Roman Agora, the Tower of the Winds, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Acropolis and the Herode Atticus theatre. |
