Monastiraki Square is one of the most picturesque parts of the city named after a small monastery that once stood there. The only surviving part of the monastery today is the 11th-century church of Panagia Pantanassa, which stands next to the much later Tzistarakis Mosque. However, this part of the city has a much older history, as evidenced by the archaeological remains unearthed beneath the surface, accessible through the nearby Metro Station. The streets to the east of the square are filled with shops selling a variety of products, and visitors can enjoy delicious meals, including the famous Greek Gyros.
Plaka
Stretching to the north and northeast of the Acropolis hill the area of Plaka constitutes the historical center of Athens. As the only part of the city that has been inhabited without interruption since antiquity, the Plaka area forms a unique palimpsest. It combines a network of ancient, Byzantine, Ottoman and later monuments with the intensity expected in the heart of the modern capital. Walking through the picturesque alleys of the Plaka district, which offer a unique blend of colors, flavors and perfumes filling the air, will certainly be an unforgettable experience.
