Plaka
|
Plaka ,
the oldest neighborhood of Athens, the most
characteristic area of the city and the only unchanged by time. The old houses
and the nice neoclassic buildings have been preserved and have been restored in
recent years. A walk through the quiet narrow streets of Plaka is a walk
through the past of Athens, a unique and charming experience under the imposing
monuments of the Acropolis.

Monastiraki, where the flea market is, is a fascinating area
with anything from souvenirs in all their myriad form, marble chess sets,
copper pans, ceramic pots, to junk and antiques. Old coins and stamps, old
furniture, baskets and junk, piled haphazardly between office furniture, all go
to make this area one of the most fascinating in the city.
