Plaka shopping district Athens Greece Greek


The Plaka is a district in the centre of Athens below the Acropolis. It borders the southern district of Makrygianni, with the area east of the temple of Zeus and Zappeion, north of the commercial centre of Athens and west of Monastiraki. After the second world war , the buildings of Plaka were preserved in their entirety as a Greek heritage, making Plaka as the only district of Athens in such an extent that one can see the city as it was 100 years ago. In Plaka use to be the main area of Athens nightlife , today there are museums, taverns, restaurants, cafes and tourist shops with goods, and buildings of famous citizens of the old Athens.
