Athens, Greece: The Tranquil Anafiotika Neighborhood - Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide

More info about travel to Athens: www.ricksteves... Hike to the top of the Plaka and explore the charming "village" of Anafiotika, built in the 19th century by people from the tiny Cycladic island of Anafi who came here to the big city looking for work. In this oasis of tranquility, nestled beneath the walls of the Acropolis, the intensity of Athens seems miles away. #ricksteveseurope #ricksteves #athens

Found this video and learned about Plaka and Anafiotika, Awesome. Definitely will visit when we arrive Athens. If only someone will provide the street names for the best walking tour in Plaka.

I really like U'r video, as it has good resolution and is not the typical tourist major sites only, type of tour guide. It's just my subjective opinion, but, I think many will agree, the not so exposed side of Athens, with all the flowers, tiled roofs, hanging plant vines, flowers and the local friendly cats on the ancient stone sidewalks has a beauty of it's own, perhaps, imo, greater than even the major monuments, which though impressive, just sit their statically and silent. thx 4 video. : )

government has been trying for years to tear down those house in Anafiotika since they were built on an ancient path that leads to Acropolis and they want to re-open the path.
