The Plaka district<\/b><\/p>\n

The Plaka district is located on the North-Eastern slope of the hill, and it actually constituted the whole of Athens before it gained the status of the capital city of independent Greece. It is a picturesque area, filled with charming narrow and winding alleys.

The Agora<\/b><\/p>\n

The Agora was the centre of life in ancient Athens –\u00a0 an area of \u200b\u200bshops and markets, public institutions and squares. The remains of the buildings are scattered today in the open area between Monastiraki and the Acropolis. To get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe area, you should visit the museum, which is located in Attalus’ site: a long two-story building on the left side of the gate to the site that was built by King Attalus II, (2nd century BC). The magnificent shop building has been meticulously restored by the people of the American School of Archaeology; at its far end is the Byzantine church from the 11th century Ai Apostoli (Holy Apostles).<\/span><\/p>\n
