5Falling for Tourist Traps in Plaka

Plaka is charming and picturesque, but it’s also filled with overpriced tavernas, generic souvenirs, and pushy vendors. Many tourists end up dining in places with laminated English menus and microwaved moussaka.

Tip: Walk a few streets away from the main drag to find authentic tavernas. Areas like Thissio or Monastiraki offer better food at fairer prices.
