Pedestrianised Adrianou is Plaka's main artery and the departure lounge of much of the city's least interesting, overpriced rubbish. Aimed at travellers with unsuccessful taste transplants or two bottles of Ouzo under their belts, it's not an unpleasant experience walking the walk, just tediously repetitive. Originality was stamped out years ago in the blind rush for easy tourist bucks.
For utility and/or creativity, try the Athens Flea Market at the Monastiraki end of Adrianou.
