Walking Through History at Plato’s Academy, Athens 📖🌿

Unlike Aristotle’s Lyceum, Plato’s Academy is now an open public park rather than a closed archaeological site. 🌳🏛️ While the ruins aren’t in perfect condition and there’s little protection around them, the historical atmosphere is undeniable. Walking through the area, you can still feel the weight of history in this legendary place where philosophy flourished. There’s a small museum, though when I visited, it was unfortunately closed due to some maintenance issues. Still, the visit is completely free, and since it's not a major tourist attraction, you can explore it peacefully. If you're interested in history and philosophy, this is definitely a spot worth visiting in Athens! 💡✨ #celebrateit
