Plaka - the Neighborhood of the Gods
Plaka is
the old historical neighborhood of Athens, clustered around the northern and
eastern slopes of the Acropolis, and incorporating labyrinthine streets and
neoclassical architecture. Plaka is built on top of the residential areas of
the ancient town of Athens. It is known as the "Neighborhood of the
Gods" due to its proximity to the Acropolis and its many archaeological
sites.
