Nestled on the northeastern slopes of the Acropolis, Anafiotika is one of Athens’ most picturesque and unique neighborhoods. This hidden gem within the Plaka district feels like a step back in time, with narrow, winding alleyways, whitewashed houses, and vibrant bougainvillea. Built in the 19th century by stonemasons from the island of Anafi, Anafiotika exudes a Cycladic island charm right in the heart of Athens.
Staying here means you're only a short stroll from the Acropolis and other historic landmarks, yet tucked away in a tranquil setting that feels worlds apart from the city's bustle. Wander the maze-like paths, enjoy stunning views of Athens and the surrounding hills, and experience a true Athenian escape that combines history, culture, and a unique sense of place.
Anafiotika is perfect for travelers seeking an authentic, serene retreat close to Athens' iconic attractions.
