€5,883per m²
Spitogatos surfaces a single neighborhood label for Plaka — no sub-area resolution. Adjacent historic-center neighborhoods (Monastiraki, Makrygianni, Koukaki) appear under separate parents.
The median Plaka apartment lists for €5,883 per square metre — the highest neighborhood median in our Greek coverage, narrowly above Glyfada (€5,795). The distinction is the floor. Plaka's 25th-percentile asking price is €5,093/m². Glyfada's is €4,369/m². A €1,500,000 budget that buys you a 230-square-metre listing in inland Terpsithea covers half that floor area in Plaka.
The structure has no internal variation. Across 178 sale listings (Plaka's geography is small — roughly 0.4 km² of land), Spitogatos surfaces a single neighborhood label: "Plaka". No sub-areas separate Anafiotika from Ano Plaka or Kato Plaka in the listing data. The adjacent triad (Monastiraki, Makrygianni, Koukaki) shows up under their own separate parents, not under Plaka.
What the distribution does show is a heavy right tail. The 75th-percentile is €8,619/m² and the 99th-percentile sits at €19,737/m² — trophy-listing territory. The IQR (€3,526) is the widest in our Greek coverage, but the spread is generated by the right side of the distribution, not by a bifurcated split.
The driver is geographic and regulatory. Plaka is protected historic-zone real estate; supply is fixed. Tourism demand, foreign buyer demand, and Athens-residential demand all compete for the same ~178 active listings. In Plaka the floor is the market — there is no entry-level Plaka product. Every listing is, in practical terms, a central Athens trophy.
Distribution shape: tourist-historic premium, no low tier. Sample data from Spitogatos.gr, May 2026. Median, p25, p75 are listing-asking prices; see our Greek price-index page for transaction-grade alternatives.
