Greece Monastiraki Square, Athens
The Monastiraki square is practically the heart of Athens. It is located in the north of Plaka right below the Acropolis. The image was shot from a blacony of the restaurant "A for Athens" during the blue hour.
Photography Tips
It was not allowed to use a tripod to shoot the district, so I had to bump up the ISO and reduce the aperture in order to shoot the scene hand-held. So if you wanna shoot the district from the restaurant, make sure to visit during appropriate light-conditions.

Parking in central Athens is difficult. You can reach the spot via bus, or park your car in a parking-garage (approx. 3 Euros per hour).
