Stroll through the historic park to the ancient Gymnasium ruins, where your philosophy instructor sets the scene with a timeline of Greek philosophical heritage, connecting Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.
Then, dive into a dynamic discussion of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” using the Socratic method, and wrap up with a lively role-play debate using a real replica of an ancient water-timer.
This is not just a tour—it’s a hands-on, mind-opening experience in the heart of ancient Athens that blends education, culture, and fun.
There is the option to enhance your experience with an additional hour on Aristotle's Philosophy featuring a thought-provoking game on virtue and choice!
