A spasso per Atene, la Plaka

E’ il centro storico di Atene. Il nome deriva probabilmente da pliaka, termine usato per descrivere la zona dai soldati albanesi al servizio dei turchi nel XVI secolo.

Le strade e le piazzette ricche di taverne e negozi pieni di turisti, lasciano il posto a locali frequentati soprattutto dai greci man mano che si sale verso le zone più prossime alle pendici dell’Acropooli, nel quartiere Anafiotika. Qui l’atmosfera si fà davvero conviviale, soprattutto il sabato sera e la domenica a pranzo quando folle di ragazzi vi si riuniscono improvvisando ritrovi sulle scalinate e agli angoli delle strade.

Inutile dire che anche qui speciali supervisori operano per controllare la qualità dei servizi offerti agli avventori….
