Anafiotika is a historic neighborhood in Plaka. You will find suddenly yourself in an Aegean island right in the heart of Athens. Constructors from the Aegean island of Anafi were called to renovate the city and build King Othon's palace. They settled in the location of Anafiotika and made themselves feel like home by creating a small recreation of Anafi under Acropolis Hill
