Above: A view of Athens from the quiet neighbourhood of Anafiotika where you can't hear any of the noise and bustle of the city.
The tiny neighborhood of Athens, part of the old historical neighborhood called Plaka,
on the northerneast side of the Acropolis hill. It was originally
built for construction workers from Anafi, but by 1922 it began to house refugees from Asia Minor (Turkey). Only 45 houses remain from the neighbourhood.
