Monastiraki

One of the most picturesque spots in Athens, Plaka, known as the ‘Neighborhood of the Gods’, built with neoclassical houses, it is offered for walks, shopping and visits to various monuments.

Many points of interests can be found in the old city of Athens (Plaka).

Through the cobblestone streets, you will be in a special neighborhood where you will feel like you are on an island and specifically in the neighborhoods of Anafi (Anafiotika), from which it also took its name in honor of the craftsmen and builders who had come from Anafi to build the palace of Otto.

More over, next to Plaka is Monastiraki, a large local open market where everyone should visit.
