Pláka:  lose yourself in the mists of time during your citytrip to Athens as you stroll through the narrow alleys of the oldest district of the city. Go treasure-hunting for souvenirs and take lots of pictures, but leave only your footsteps... and the fingerprints on your glass while you raise a toast to the wonders of your citytrip in one of the many cosy pubs. In nearby Monastiraki, there is a giant flea market on Sundays.
