Taking stock of the capital's 1830-1940 buildings | Life | ekathimerini.com
"It is estimated that more than 10,500 buildings constructed between 1830 and the Second World War currently survive in Athens. These structures, comprising a great variety of styles, make up the Greek capital's architectural legacy. The diversity is such that Monumenta, an urban activist group that has over the past three years documented the vast majority of these structures, claims that “in Athens you can see the most beautiful buildings.”"
There are some beautiful old buildings in Plaka - but some of them are in urgent need of repair.
