Nestled at the foot of the Acropolis of Athens, the historic neighborhood of Plaka is often called the “Neighborhood of the Gods” for its charming streets, neoclassical architecture, and proximity to Athens’ ancient landmarks. With its Byzantine churches, welcoming cafés, and lively atmosphere, Plaka offers pilgrims a chance to experience the cultural heart of Athens while reflecting on the rich history of the city where St. Paul once preached the Gospel to the Greek world.
