Situated at the base of the Acropolis is Athens’ oldest neighborhood – Plaka.
Plaka is vibrant, rustic, and full of old-world charm. Wandering these cozy streets, you’ll discover lazy cats, vintage scooters, colorful shutters, and breathtaking views of the valley. You’ll also find plenty of shops to browse and lots of cafes to choose from. We simply enjoyed winding our way through the narrow alleys, soaking in the little details and appreciating the relaxed Mediterranean vibes.

Here are a few postcards from our visit to Athens Greece. Sven and I traveled there with a big group of friends to celebrate the New Year last January. Even though we were there in the winter, the weather was still really mild and streets were hardly crowded. If a trip to Greece is on your mind, definitely consider visiting during the offseason!
