Plaka is where Athens travel mobs gather to feed under the shadow of the Acropolis, but beware prices. The more romantic the location the more ridiculous the price...and don't even think seafood unless you plan on a second mortgage. Good meal deals are available but they'll hardly be ethnic or interesting.
To escape the package feeding frenzy of Plaka and Monastiraki, stroll a little further north to the labyrinthine streets of Psiri where Greek fashionistas cruise and style rules, OK. While you may have a little more difficulty in communicating at least your neighbours will be funky Greeks and prices will be credible.
