A postcard from Athens
Under the charm of Plaka
You’re now in the heart of Plaka, one of the most recognized and emblematic neighbourhoods of Athens. Pebbled roads and hidden steps can lead you to discover new corners every time you visit and tourists make a point of exploring its rich history and enjoying its unapologetic charm. We like to take our own approach to the walk and guide you in an original manner we think you’ll appreciate. But before setting off on the meandering streets of Plaka, why not take a moment to pause and have something to drink or a bite to eat. Café Yiasemi (Greek for Jasmin) is found on Mnisikleous street 23, opposite your starting point. Locals can be often be found here enjoying their cup of Greek coffee and enjoying a homemade pie or dessert at their leisure. Take the spiral staircase upstairs and savour your drink on the picturesque outdoor terrace.
