Walking along the Plaka was a lovely way of immersing oneself into the Greek culture. The roadside cafes close to the Agora were a delight! More

shopping, restaurants, fun of getting lost. Very safe.we walked late at night without any concern. We spend a number of days exploring. Check small alleys More

walking around Plaka market and restaurants around.was something to remember! the gyros are great! More

a visit to Athens would not be complete without a visit to the Plaka Area. Yes it has the souvenir shops but boy does it have some fantastic restaurants. More

Loved walking up and top the cobbled lane ways and stopping and having a greek coffee or an ouzo and meze and watching all the people stroll by. Amazing atmosphere and gorgeous little boutique shops, especially the jewellery stores!! More

Very fun to haggle with the merchants. There are excellent restaurant has affordable prices More

The Plaka has lost some of it's old charm, with the hundreds of tee-shirt shops, cheesy souvenir places, and constant hawking of food, but there's enough here to make it worth exploring. There are some great restaurants in and around the Plaka, but there are many who serve frozen souvlaki and moussaka, so look at reviews first and don't fall... More

we were given a hint to eat in a place called Getzy's (?). it was on a side street and was amazing. Missed all the touristy stuff and the food and prices were amazing. We sat under a jacarunda tree in full bloom with an orange tree filled with oranges to the side of us. More

Top heavy with restaurants and souvenir shops. The place has a buzz and is visually stunning with the Acropolis looming over it, all lit up in the evenings. More
