Definition: plaka -
The plaka or plateia is the village square, though it can be almost any shape. This usually holds a taverna or cafenion or two, the local civic authority, and an area of trees, often with taverna tables arranged around them. Cement play areas are common. On summer evenings it is usually "the" place to be, and many voltas, or evening walks, end up in the town square.
