5.00I participated to this activity with my partner, while we travelled Greece. As I come from Greece, I wanted to do something different with him and engage him with ancient Greek culture. He really enjoyed it and learned a lot, Valia, our guide was really friendly and we learnt a lot from her. Although I have been to Athens before that was a unique experience to get out of my comfort zone and try something new.
Highly recommended for families!!!!!

5.00I visited Athens with my family in November. We attended the workshop with my little boys aged 5 and 8. They loved our guide Valia who answered all of our questions and made us feel so welcome!!! The workshop was amazing and we learned many things about childhood, education and Ancient Greek games. It was very interesting and entertaining both for adults and my little ones. We felt that we actively participated and our kids still play they games we learned. It is totally worthy to attend this workshop and have fun with your kids!!!!
Great activity

5.00One of the best experiences of my life. The place was beautiful and our guide Valia really made us travel back in ancient Greece through her stories about how the children were having fun back then. Our kids really enjoyed the whole experience and if we had the chance we would do it again!
The best experience ever!

5.00In January I had the best experience ever! I went at the National Garden with my family. There my children learned a lot about Ancient Greece and we played together Ancient Greek games! They were excited and they learned history while playing. Our facilitator was adorable and my children loved her. If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would definitely do it!
The best family activity in Athens!

5.00I visited Athens for some days, during my trip in Greece last year. Among several activities that I tried with the members of my family, I surely suggest this one as the best piece of Ancient Greece taste. The adorable facilitator Valia provide us with 90 minutes of games, which was really appreciated by my kids, encouraging us to try to play like Ancient Greeks. Some of them were a bit difficult, since we ask her to show us different levels of difficulty, but all of them are appropriate for kids and adults as well! In general, they were very interesting activities, while some of them were close to the games we play in modern times! Moreover, I was more than happy, since I was the winner in the end and I received a beautiful prize from Valia. Last, I want to review the price which was very low for a family in comparison with other activities we experienced. All in all, I strongly recommend that everyone should try this activity. Thank you Valia!!!!
