Plaka is the old historical neighborhood of Athens, clustered around the northern and eastern slopes of the Acropolis. It features labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture.
Plaka is known as the "Neighborhood of the Gods" due to its proximity to the Acropolis and its many archaeological sites. It is the oldest district in Athens, continuously inhabited for over 3,000 years.
Key areas within Plaka include Anafiotika, a small village-like neighborhood with whitewashed houses, and the Roman Agora, an ancient marketplace.
