About Thea Terrace

The rooftop bar of the Central Hotel in Plaka, with Acropolis views, a good spot for a drink before dinner. Plaka is the oldest neighbourhood of Athens, a maze of lanes and neoclassical houses below the Acropolis, with tavernas, small museums and shops; it is largely pedestrian and best explored on foot. Athens nights start late, with bars filling after 22:00 and many staying open into the small hours.
