11:00AM: Head to Plaka and Visit the Tripod Street- the oldest street in Europe - 25 centuries with the same name.

**Learn how the street got its name and who was the God of Theater ** Plaka is a charming and unique neighbourhood in the centre of Athens. This historical part of the city has a lively atmosphere with cobbled streets, neoclassical buildings and a selection of cafes, restaurants and boutique hotels.

Plaka is close to many of the major archaeological sites in Athens, including the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora. Visitors can take a guided tour of these sites or explore on their own. Plaka also houses several museums where they can learn about Greek history, customs and culture.

At night, visitors can experience a romantic outdoor cinema, traditional music bars, live entertainment and traditional Greek food. Whether it's during the day or at night, visitors can have an authentic experience of Athens in Plaka.
