Anafiotika

Anafiotika is a scenic tiny neighbourhood of Athens, part of the old historical neighbourhood called Plaka. It lies in North East side of the Acropolis hill. The first houses were built in the era of Otto of Greece when workers from the island of Anafi came to Athens in order to work as construction workers in the refurbishment of King Othon’s Palace.

The first two inhabitants were listed as G. Damigos, a carpenter, and M. Sigalas, a construction worker. Soon, workers from other Cycladic islands also started to arrive there, to work as carpenters or even stone and marble workers, in a further building reconstruction period in Athens, but also in the following era after the end of the reign of King Otto.
