Pláka

Pláka : The Michelin guide review

Pláka forms a picturesque web of small peaceful roads and alleys, small squares and terraces linking flights of steps. A few small Byzantine churches alternate with old houses with round-tiled roofs and wooden balconies, sometimes surrounded by hidden gardens. Views of the town or the Acropolis are revealed here and there. At night Pláka comes to life. In the taverns which light up, you can taste Greek cuisine washed down with retsina, and dance the sirtáki.
