Part 5/8:
Home to upscale shopping and five-star hotels, Syntagma is known for glamour and comfort. While it offers fantastic lodging options, many are quite expensive. The neighborhood lacks charm, with bustling traffic and fast-food franchises dominating the landscape.
Plaka: The Cute and Touristy Neighborhood
Plaka, at the foot of the Acropolis, is picturesque with charming cafes and restaurants lining its hilly streets. While it's appealing for its aesthetic appeal and historical significance, it tends to be the most tourist-heavy, often leading to inflated prices and variable food quality. Visitors may also find that views of the Acropolis from here are somewhat limited compared to other neighborhoods.
