A Private Symposium

Join Alkistis at a magnificent, historic sea-side residence on the Athens Riviera, near Lagonissi, for a Symposium discussing ancient Greek philosophy and the wisdom of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics.

We will wine and dine and hold discussions that will explore the wisdom of the ancients on the best ways to live life well so that we may reach the state of Eudaimonia, a state of happiness and flourishing of human soul.

What is included:

• The Symposium's duration will be approximately 4 hours, beginning at around 7:30 pm, so we can watch the sunset. Other times can be discussed.
• Wine and food will be served in a casual setting - i.e. as was done in symposiums of old, not as a sit-down dinner. The menu is normally based on Greek cuisine, but can be adjusted to your tastes. A large barbecue is also available if required. 
• Attendees will receive a signed copy of the book "From Fear to Freedom", by Alkistis, and a special "Golden" Medallion, specially designed.

Price:

• The price for up to 12 people, is Euro 3,500 + VAT for the months of May, June and September.
  
• For other months, please contact us.
• For larger groups, please contact us.

Availability:

• The venue is available year round, except August, and preferably on week days.

The Greek symposium was a key Hellenic social institution. It was a forum for debating, plotting, boasting, or simply reveling with others. Symposia were also held by aristocrats to celebrate special occasions, such as victories in athletic and poetic contests. They were a source of pride for those who held them.

Food and wine were served, in a relaxed, casual atmosphere, along with entertainment such as games, songs, and various performing acts.
