Athens Neighbourhoods: Plaka in Athens Greece
Plaka neighborhood Plaka Athens: Following the Ermou Street, the most famous shopping street which begins in the Syndagma square, and going down south, you will arrive in the neighbourhood of Plaka.

It is undoubtedly Athens’ most beautiful neighbourhood. Its architecture is mostly neoclassical and dating from King Otto’s time. Plaka and the Parliament were the only composites of the city of Athens when it first became a capital in 1834.
 

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.
