Plaka

posted by frodacker on 19 October 2010 at 14:26

Plaka is a must see when you're in Athens. There aren't any particularly noteworthy sights here but its a charmingly labyrinthine area and great to wonder at sundown when the street lights and evening bustle make it feel quite magical. Wonder around until you've worked up a sufficient appetite for the large portions served in the area's restaurants.

Plaka Restaurant

posted by kwile on 19 October 2010 at 14:21

There are lots of restaurants in the Plaka in Athens and it can be extremely difficult to choose between them when the menus and prices don't seem to vary that much from one restaurant to the next. For my money, though Plaka restaurant has it by a whisker with lovely outdoor seating and some exquisite seafood - the Calimari especially is incredible.

This is the place to go if you want to party with the locals! As the evening wears on and the grappa takes effect, things can get quite raucous. The food is delicious with some excellent salads, dips and chicken dishes as well as grilled platters. The staff are really friendly and mostly speak English despite the fact that this is definitely not a tourist restaurant.
