In the shadow of the Acropolis, the neighborhood of Koukaki will allow you to visit all the historical places on foot! Yet, the neighborhood will offer a closer look at the city and the local way of living, by avoiding the touristic places of Plaka! It is full of little corner restaurants, bars and has an undeniably urban village feel with its bitter orange trees!
There are also a number of small shops owned by artisans who sell handmade products that are of a higher quality and a lot more interesting than the usual tourist fare sold in the typical tourist shops around Athens.
Perhaps the most charming area in the neighborhood is the pedestrian zone running from Koukaki Square along Georgaki Olympiou Street. Overhanging trees, including palms, entirely conceal the concrete facades of the buildings above the cafés and restaurants. Brightly painted wood and wicker chairs adorn the pavements where Athenians young and old come to socialize.
Koukaki exudes a laidback air, in sharp contrast to Plaka just up the road, which is busy all the time. Nonetheless, Koukaki has much to offer to those who would venture a little further from the historic center.
