| Reviews: | Five star rating in Trip Advisor Reviews: 1. A once in a lifetime opportunity to relive the classical Athenian culture! Plesant people, well though out and planned, expert and knowledgeable facilitator, fun and valuable insights, at the exact location where Democracy was born! What more can one ask in getting to know how it felt to be an Athenian and vote at the Assembly? It is recommended to all as a unique activity, far beyond the stale perspective of a museum visit. 2. We had the pleasure of attending this workshop In November. We met the workshop academics on site at the original site of Plato's school in Athens. The workshop organizers were comprised of knowledgeable individuals and we were guided through an interactive and lively discussion about philosophical ideas just as the ancient students would have done thousands of years ago. We were able to think, communicate and debate ideas in inspiring surroundings! It was a fabulous experience and exactly what any student of philosophy and history loves about Greece. Highly recommend. Professional and well organized! We plan to attend another workshop when we return in the summer. |
