Whitewashed houses with colored doors and shutters, colorful fragrant gardens, narrow streets, countless steps and the prettiest views of the capital. Anafiotika, a small island in the heart of the center of the city, is undoubtedly the most beautiful part of the most charming neighborhood of Athens.

In the shadow of the Acropolis, the captivating Anafiotika offers us the most delightful walk in the city, making us feel as if we were on holidays at a Cycladic island.

The architecture, simple and Cycladic, is due to the first inhabitants of the neighborhood, workers from the island of Anafi who settled in Athens and built their houses according to the Cycladic style.

Wander through a maze of streets and take beautiful, unfiltered photographs.

Then, at the stairs of Mnisikleous street, enjoy your coffee or your dessert in Yiasemi, one of the most lovely cafes in the area, while if you fancy a light lunch or dinner, visit the "Anafiotika" restaurant. Try delicious apple pie at the famous cafe of Melina in Lisiou street and drink Greek traditional coffee in Klepsidra, at 9 Thrasivoulou street.
