Plaka is a district in the center of Athens below the Acropolis. It borders south with the Makrigianni district, east with the area of the Pillars of Olympian Zeus and Zappeion, north with the commercial center of Athens and west with Monastiraki. It has been characterized as a traditional settlement. Plaka is one of the few districts of the city if not the only one which was inhabited continuously since antiquity and was, among other things, the center of Ancient Athens. The direct connection of the area with the glorious past of Ancient Athens, which becomes apparent to the visitor from the dozens of monuments scattered in it have made it known and not unjustly as the District of the Gods.
