About Plaka & Anafiotika
The oldest neighbourhood in Athens: pedestrian lanes, neoclassical mansions and tavernas, with the whitewashed island-style houses of Anafiotika tucked into the slope of the Acropolis. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat and the crowds, and buy tickets for state sites online at hhticket.gr to skip the queue.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Plaka & Anafiotika before you go.
