Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located in the shadow of the Acropolis, with cobblestone streets crossing the hillside, Plaka is a lively village-like neighborhood and one of the most popular tourist spots in Athens.

Its quaint, colorful shops sell everything from jewelry, ceramics, and clothes to drinks, souvenirs, “antiques,” excellent coffee, and local food. Its many family-run taverns serve local traditional dishes and drinks, often accompanied by folk music and cheerful dancers, especially in the evening. Plaka is incredibly charming, noisy, crowded, and an absolute must for any visitor, offering the quintessential Greek vibe they are searching for. Some of the spots worth visiting are Cine Parks, which shows classic movies under the sky, the Tower of Winds archaeological site, and the Museum of Greek Folk Art.
