From teens to grandparents- The best thing we did in Athens! - We joined the Plato Philosophy Workshop as a group of friends and family (ages 14–74), and it was honestly the best thing we did in Athens! The experience was engaging, thought-provoking, and fun—we learned, philosophized, and connected with each other on a whole new level. Our guide was absolutely incredible: knowledgeable, inspiring, and full of warmth and humor. The interactive discussions made ancient philosophy come alive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something truly meaningful and memorable in Athens!

EXCELLENT!!!! - We spent a few days in Athens, reflecting on Plato’s philosophy and Aristotle’s ethics. The Academy’s setting was beautiful, and our instructor was both knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a unique and inspiring experience. Thank you so much.

Walking in the Steps of Plato - We took the Philosophy Experiential Workshop at Plato's Academy & additional hour in Aristotle-it was great! Our instructor, Eleonora, is very knowledgeable, engaging, and presented the information in an interactive and fun way. And to be right where Plato ACTUALLY had his school and gymnasium was amazing! The Hellas Revival staff are super professional-everything was arranged beautifully. Highly recommend this experience if you're visiting Athens!

Profound experience - This was definitely the best thing we did in Athens! Note that we added the one extra hour of Aristotle's philosophy. Here is what we did ; We philosophized right on the excavations of Plato's school, what a way to immerse in the ancient Greek culture! We discussed about the historical background connected with Socrates and philosophers before him, then Plato and his time, up to Aristotle - lots of things make more sense when you know what was happening back then. And then our amazing guide asked questions on Plato's Cave myth, WE had to think what he had in mind and what was the hidden message, through discussing our thoughts and opinions. We even participated in a debate on a relevant ethical dilemma. Then the rest of the group departed and we stayed for the Aristotle hour, walked to the nearby excavations of the ancient Gymnasium. We learned about Aristotle -what a guy!- and his theory on morality. We were requested to think what he would do in multiple modern day examples - with multiple choice cards. And discussed how these everyday choices will lead us to a truly happy life. Amazing experience, cannot recommend it enough!

Exvellent experience! - We felt like ancient Greek students of Plato and Aristotle, in the same place, discussing the same topics, an unrepeatable experience, moving and unsurpassed.

Excellent fun seminar! - The seminar was really great, with very nice flow and participation. The rapporteur knew the subject well and conveyed Platonic philosophy to us in a simple and entertaining way. It was definitely one of the best experiences we had in Athens, if not the best!

Great experience - Great and informative experience. We loved learning with our guide; the interactive question / answer format was a lot of fun and made understanding the concepts and history much more enjoyable than a traditional tour. Definitely recommend for a small group.

Great Philosophy Tour - Honestly my favorite activity that we did in Athens. I really enjoy reading about and learning more about ancient Greek philosophers, so I was very excited to get to walk in the grounds where Plato had once taught and learn more about that time period. During this turn we learned about the history of Greek philosophy, as well as the history of Athens during the classical period. Then we learned more about Plato, his life and his teachings. Our guide was very friendly, engaging, and was great at answering all of the questions that we had. All in all we had a great time doing this activity.

Stepping into the philosophers mindset - I really liked the idea of stepping into the philosophers mindsets in the place where Plato founded his Academy. We've got to know not only philosophers, but also historical and political figures of ancient Greece and step into their foot with interactive games. The site is unfortunately not so well kept, but the guides did their best to help us imagine how it was. Well done to our guides, recently graduated philology students!
