Plaka, Historic neighborhood under Acropolis, Athens, Greece
Narrow stone-paved streets and neoclassical buildings from the 19th century line the pedestrian paths throughout this central district of Athens.
Archaeological excavations confirm continuous habitation since prehistoric times, with the area transforming from an entertainment district to a preserved neighborhood in the 1970s.
Local tavernas, street musicians, and small museums exhibit Greek traditions, while the Jewish Museum and Folk Art Museum present different aspects of heritage.
Three metro stations - Acropolis, Monastiraki, and Syntagma - provide direct access to this car-free zone situated between central Athens landmarks.
Anafiotika section features white houses built by settlers from Anafi island, creating an unexpected Cycladic landscape beneath the Acropolis.
