- Sunday, 15 July 2018
Plaka is built under the Acropolis rock, in the "heart" of Athens. It is a traditional district that was thankfully spared during the first "wave" of residential development in Athens. Athenians visit Plaka everyday but especially during the weekends. They never seem to get enough. They photograph the houses and the paved alleys and post the images online. There are pages on social media, with thousands of followers, dedicated to Plaka. Everyone, from teenagers to the elderly, have something to say about Plaka.
