The story of Plaka
Plaka has been lived in continuously since ancient times, sitting right under the Acropolis. Its neoclassical mansions, small churches and pedestrian streets are full of tavernas and souvenir shops.
Above it, Anafiotika was built in the 19th century by builders from the island of Anafi, who recreated the white Cycladic houses of their home island. Nearby are the Roman Agora and the Tower of the Winds.
