'''Pláka''' ({{langx|el|Πλάκα}}) is the old historical neighborhood of [[Athens]], clustered around the northern and eastern slopes of the [[Acropolis of Athens|Acropolis]], and incorporating labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture. Plaka is built on top of the residential areas of the ancient town of Athens. It is known as the "Neighborhood of the Gods" due to its proximity to the Acropolis and its many archaeological sites.<ref>Costas Spirou, ''The Evolution of the Tourism Precinct'' in ''City spaces - tourist places: urban tourism precincts'' ed. by Bruce Hayllar, Tony Griffin, Deborah Edwards, page 31 :” Plaka the neighborhood of the Gods...Located at the base of the hill of Acropolis Plaka is the oldest district in Athens.”</ref>
