Anafiotika
The highest part of Plaka is a cluster of tiny houses and stepped paths just below the Acropolis walls. On the map it forms a very fine, irregular texture.

About this Plaka map poster
Plaka lies on the slopes directly beneath the Acropolis and is among the oldest continuously inhabited areas of Athens. The map shows a web of short, bending streets rather than a clear grid, many following routes older than the modern city. Adrianou Street curves along its northern side, and the quarter gradually gives way to the busier streets around Monastiraki and Syntagma.
High on the slope, just under the cliffs of the Acropolis, is Anafiotika, a cluster of small whitewashed houses built in the nineteenth century by workers from the island of Anafi. Its paths are too narrow for cars and turn into steps. Lower down, ancient monuments such as the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates and the Roman Agora stand among the houses.
A Plaka map poster is shaped by the hill beneath it. The streets follow the contours, curve around the rock and stop where the slope rises too sharply, leaving the Acropolis as an open space above. The pattern looks organic, almost handmade, and in the Paper style the lines resemble an archaeological drawing.

Adrianou Street
Often described as one of the oldest streets in Athens still in use, it bends through the quarter and links Plaka to the area of the Ancient Agora.
The Acropolis above
The rock itself appears as an open shape at the top of the district, and Plaka's streets wrap around its base like lines on a contour map.
