Where Athens' Plaka district meets the Acropolis is a charming little village of tiny whitewashed houses picked out in Greek blue. Travellers who take the trouble to stagger up that far will enjoy a unique Greek view, as the village was built by labourers from the island of Anafi in the style of their Cycladean homes.
From the village tourists can easily continue on a high path around to the Ancient Agora area or to the Acropolis entrance.
