Plaka

Romantic, historic, touristy but worth it

The oldest continuously inhabited neighbourhood in Europe. Winding marble alleys, neoclassical houses, tavernas with live music, and Roman-era ruins at every corner.

Museum of Greek Folk Art

Five floors of embroidery, silverwork, shadow puppets, and folk paintings in Plaka — including the only surviving work of Theofilos, Greece's most celebrated naive painter. An overlooked gem.
