Tavernas in Plaka

The "tavernas" in Greece are like the bars in Spain, there are some on every corner, especially in the Plaka neighborhood. Here you can find some lovely, tiny bars with little tablecloths, terraces and live Greek music. In fact, the streets here are full of taverns and restaurants, with trellises, plants, and tiny squares full of tables. The one place I liked was the bananas tavern at the foot of the Acropolis. There are grape leaves stuffed with rice, saganaki (fried cheese) exquisite, with a good resin to accompany the meal and dessert, yogurt (thanks to this place, I came weighing two kils more, since I seemed to wake up with yogurt on my mind).
