Nestled at the foot of the Acropolis, Plaka is like a village within the city, where the perfume of jasmine and the sound of bouzouki music fill the air. This quaint neighborhood, with its neoclassical charm and labyrinthine streets, is the perfect backdrop for a leisurely day spent exploring boutique shops, traditional cafes, and hidden courtyards. 

Plaka is not just Athens’ oldest neighborhood; it’s a living museum, where every alleyway and building has a story to tell, inviting visitors to lose themselves in the layers of time.

Best time/season to visit:
Plaka’s allure is timeless, but visiting in the late spring or early autumn offers pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds, ideal for meandering.
