Enjoying a drink and quick snack while exploring.

The old streets of the Plaka are filled with many shops, café’s, and restaurants. It’s a perfect spot to watch people walk by, or to find that perfect something to take back home. It is a nice place to stop and have a cool snack, and drink prior to continuing onward with city exploring. Most of the plaka is pedestrians only, so people can walk around freely without always watching for vehicles. There are so many different stores, each one is different so check them out!
