Thanks a lot for these news on the Lyceum. May you please tell me where exactly is placed in the to-day Athens?

It is located in the center of Athens near Sintagma square

OMG! I stayed on a hostel near Sintagma Square and didn't know about it!!!! :(
I'd have enjoyed this useful info 18 years ago!!!!
thanks for this!!!

Do not worry, 18 years ago the Lyceum was undiscovered-it is a recent find.Come to see it now, i gladly be your guide!

too_beauty June 16 2014, 01:12:04 UTC

As soon as I can, I will accept the guide offer. I travelled alone but it would be too much fun with someone who knows better then me.
thanks

When Aristotle spoke of the 'golden middle', he certainly didn't know the place where he taught for so many years would become the very 'middle' of the future Athens!

I agree.The findings are few, but the gardeners have planted lovely typical greek-mediterranean plants which have a sweet-smelly fragrance, so its a pleasant experience walk there to " the very middle" of the city !
The call is for everyone...

Thanks for sharing. My "to-visit" list for my future trip to Greece grows bigger and bigger.

There is no problem to understand your English. You should venture more on your own. I want to share with you the wisdom that long time ago my English teacher told to the class: "Don't be shy to speak foreign language with native speakers. Always remember, you can speak their language but in most cases they can't speak yours ( ... )
