    This is a fun, unique experience for those who enjoy learning while traveling, and a lot more engaging than anything you’ll get in a museum or on a big group tour. My boyfriend and I went into this without a lot of background knowledge, but that did not hold us back at all. Alex was a great workshop leader and made us feel comfortable asking questions and sharing our own ideas.

    We had many (many!!) tours on our 3-week Greece trip, and this philosophy workshop experience was our favorite. We particularly enjoy history and philosophy, but I think someone who isn’t as inclined as us would still really enjoy this experience. Some of the tours can get exhausting downloading so much information, so it was pleasant and fun to actually engage on a tour with some easy but thoughtful questions. They are not hard test questions but scenario questions about everyday life situations. These questions then encourage conversation and help learn more about Aristotle’s Ethics. The brief history lesson at the beginning also put everything into context. It was also nice to see a different part of Athens. Our guide, Alex, was very friendly and easy to talk to. A perfect way to experience Greek philosophy and history!

    We had amazing time with Olga! The whole experience was engaging and awakening, Aristotle's philosophy was simply explained with examples from everyday life. Plus there is a brief historical introduction which explains a lot about ancient Athens' development.

    What to expect

    Start your journey in the peaceful surroundings of Rizari Park, just steps from central Athens. Under the shade of the trees, your expert facilitator will guide you through a short, engaging timeline of ancient Greek philosophy, connecting Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. From there, you’ll walk to the nearby Archaeological Site of Lyceum (entry ticket not included), where Aristotle founded his famous school of philosophy. Just like ancient students, you’ll philosophize while walking, discussing how to apply Aristotle’s moral theory in real life to achieve Eudaimonia – a life well-lived. Along the way, you’ll join a fun, thought-provoking virtue-choice game, exploring ethical dilemmas and discovering Aristotle’s concept of virtue. To wrap up, you’ll gather at a small open-air amphitheater overlooking the ruins. There, you’ll read selected quotes from Aristotle (yes, even in Ancient Greek!) and reflect on how his wisdom still speaks to us today – whether you’re a teen, parent, educator, or curious traveler. Option to enhance your learning with an extra hour of Plato’s Philosophy, including an interactive debate on an ethical dilemma.
