The restaurant on the corner, where this film starts... is that To Kosmikon? Or how it used to be called 10 years ago?

[DimitrisByDesign]

I'm not sure. I'll take a look at the rest of the footage and see if I can find out.

[DimitrisByDesign]

yes it is to kosmikon

[kafferlilly]

Sorry I haven't seen this reply any earlier!

I don't look on you tube very often anymore... hooked on Facebook like everyone else!

But thanks for finding out that it's To Kosmikon. I used to go there quite often when I was working in flowershops in 1991. Gosh, that's 17 years ago! I'm getting old LOL.

Would you know by any chance if it's still the same owner?

[DimitrisByDesign]

Unfortunately, I don't know. Yeah, I know what you mean by FaceBook, same here. Time does, indeed, go by fast.

Take care

built by albanians???hahahahahahahahah!­!!!!!!WHAT AN ASSHOL!!!!!U ALBANIANS ARE REALLY BIG DICKHEADS!

[DimitrisByDesign]

So what you're saying is that Albanian immigrants built Plaka between 800 -- 500 BC. No, not quite. Plaka was built during the time of Homer, Pythagoras and when Greece was expanding to encompass colonies in Italy, Egypt and other parts of North Africa, western Mediterranean and over to the Black Sea (present day Syria).

[GXPLAYER]

by the way this neighborhood was build by albanians immigrants who named it "plaka" which means "the old" in albanian and has no meaning in greek.

[sofos23]

Do you even speak Greek? of course plaka has a meaning... it means slab ie a square piece of marble on a pavement.
