restaurant bairaktaris
The food here is really yummy and the u know who in the greek community all paid their visit here, including their prime minister. what the owner does is to have a photo taken of his VIPs and it is framed for all to see.
Many are afraid to eat at the plaka citing that it is expensive, but this is not true. Find the right place and you are in for a treat.
For eg, 4 souvlaki, 1 plate of fries, 1 plate of greek salad, 2 cans of pepsi cost 15 euros. more

Acropolis at night
It was getting dark and me and my companions decided to have a walk in the Plaka square and the charming streets besides the entry of the Acropolis complex. When people began to leave, we decided to climb up to behold the magnificent Parthenon.
We managed to find a spot where we could spend the whole night by the ancient building admirating an amazing view of the city from a high place. I then remembered the documentary I saw when I was quite a child on the TV where the camera stayed the whole night in the same spot where we where now! I couldn't believe that as soon as the sun would rise again, I would be watching those fabulous images I had never forgotten since that documentary in my childhood, and that time the camera would be my own eyes!
And at around 5 am the magic moment came to my life. Birds began to tweet giving way to a whole spectacle. The lights of the sun appeared in the middle of the columns and the new day was beggining. We couldn't believe our eyes more
