Philosophy and Democracy tour of Athens

This unique walking tour covers, in just 3 hours, many of the most important landmarks of ancient Athens, including some underrated but important ones, while exploring its great and long history (3.500+ years)! Ancient Athens was itself the main actor in...an ancient Greek tragedy! Athenians wanted to stop being the playthings of Gods and create their own future. However, they went more than they should. Their pride turned into arrogance and led them into decay. In this tour we will understand why they reached the heavens and then dived into hell. Surprisingly, we will find some similarities with the world of today! This dive into the past gives us lessons for the future, as the questions the first philosophers set, and the answers they gave can be an invaluable compass on how to deal with many aspects of our lives. How do we pursue happiness and what is the role of moral values? Why should we focus on the idea of well-being? What is Love and what is Eros? Their answers can prove useful to re-direct our lives in the world. Also, the story of the Rise and Fall of Athens offers useful insights on the potential flaws of Democracy and the proclivity of people/citizens to make the wrong choicces. So, join this easy pace walking tour to explore together this fascinating story walking on the footsteps of the great Philosophers! Note: Children under 15 join for free.

Create silver jewelry

Think of your own idea and we will create it together, we can make either a ring, necklace, bracelet, pair of earrings or a small piece of art. We can even add a stone and do stonesetting. Your idea/design should have the size of about 3x3cm or 1,180x 1,180 inch , weighting approx. 4.5 gram. If you wish to have a heavier piece I can advice you and negotiate it at the workshop (an extra gram equals to 1euro). Except of silver we can also use bronze and cooper, as these metals add colour to some particular ideas. Try to keep your idea simple and in 2 dimensions, so we can accomplish it in about 3 hours. If you are not so sure about what to create, you can choose any of my designs, or I can advice you. At first we will make a sketch and after we will transfer the design on the metal and cut it out with the saw. Then we will smoothen up the metal's surface with emery paper and at last we will polish it to shine it up. The piece is yours and you can call it "My Athenian keepsake" or "My unforgettable time in Athens". Making your own keepsake will give you the chance to learn in real the technical steps of it's creation.
