Is Anafiotika worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Anafiotika works.

Stumbling onto Anafiotika feels like teleporting to a Greek island in the middle of the capital: cats, climbing flowers, sugar-cube houses, total quiet, and the Acropolis right overhead. The catch: it's genuinely small — a handful of lanes — these are people's actual homes, and Instagram has made the few photogenic corners briefly busy.
