Itinerary details 

"In the footsteps of Socrates" is one of the best walks of Athens as it 

combines the history of Philosophy with the beauty of Athens. 

Ancient Greece was the birthplace of Western philosophical ethics; 

Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are considered to be instrumental in the 

way philosophy has evolved up to today. 

Join your guide and set off on a lovely walk visiting some of the most 

important landmarks allowing you to understand the way of life and 

how Philosophy evolved in ancient Athens. Starting off the walk you 

will visit the site of "agora" (market); the agora was where Athenians 

would express freely their opinions and discuss current issues. A 

beautiful site full of amazing history. From the ancient agora site 

continue on to the Philopappos Hill which has such a huge 

significance in Socrates life. It not only houses the prison in which he 

was held but also the Pnyx. The role of the Pnyx of Ancient Athens is 

as important today is it was then; it is where the democratic ideals 

and principals where born. From the top of the hill the view to the 

Acropolis is magnificent. 

Make your way downhill via the pedestrian street full of small caffes 

and street vendors towards the Hadrian’s Arch and the temple of 

Olympian Zeus. Passing these awesome monuments continue your 

walk towards the Lyceum (the school Aristotle founded). On this 

beautifully laid out walk you will pass by landmarks of Athens – 

including the National Garden and the Zappeion grand hall.
