Well, my wife & I are here (2nd time) and having a riot -- as in a really good time, although some Athenians are having real riots.

If you couldn't get to the Plaka, you didn't try. We've walked to/through/around it several times this week, eaten dinner there twice, will be eating dinner near riot central (Syntagma Square) this evening.

Sorry you're missing out on all the great -- and realtively inexpensive -- fun in a fascinating city.
