How to navigate Athens old town

Begin at a metro station (Monastiraki or Syntagma) or the Acropolis entrance. Follow the photos past the tavernas, up the steps, through the lanes. In Anafiotika, the island-style houses all look alike - the photos keep you honest.

From the airport to Athens

From ATH: metro line 3 to Syntagma or Monastiraki (~40 min), or X95 bus to Syntagma. Save an imhere route from the metro stop for the final walk into Plaka's lanes.
