Plaka

This delightful neighbourhood has an authentic village feel and is lined up with cobblestone streets. There are small shops which sell souvenirs like ceramic products, clothes, and jewellery. You will also come across small family-owned Greek restaurants, which are open late at night to cater to tourists enjoying Greece holiday packages. If you are a movie buff, then you can visit Cine Paris, where Al Fresco movies are showcased.

Plaka is one of the most heartwarming and safest neighbourhoods in Athens. Every corner here serves as a beautiful backdrop for pictures and every path is lined with greenery. Visit Agios Nikolaos Ragavas, the 11th Century Church which originally belonged to the great Byzantine family, Ragavas. There is a small bell which still hangs inside and reminds you of the past as it was the only one available in 1833.
