The tiny neighborhood of Anafiotika in Plaka, below the Acropolis, is often overlooked by tourists. It has about 60 residents who love living in their beloved village.
It was built in the 19th century by workers from the tiny island of Anafi in the Cyclades, hence the name.
In 1841, King Otto I encouraged workers to come and help transform independent Athens into modern metropolis.
