Lyceum is an open area with ruins of the ancient school of Aristotle. You can walk around it in less than 15min. We had a wonderful time though, because we had booked the Aristotle philosophy workshop, highly recommended to combine it with your visit, actually we philosophized while walking at the same paths as Aristotle and his students used to and this is an incredible feeling!

One of my family members is a philosophy freak so we had to pay this visit. I understand that it is important to see where Aristotle taught but honestly I found the place very poor, and small and the labels gave too little info. There is a philosophy workshop that takes place there but we did not take it, I suppose it would mean much more if we philosophized during our stay there. We spent literally 15 minutes and left. The ticket price was very cheap though.

We visited as it was part of the combination ticket and I studied philosophy at uni however was a bit disappointed. Gardens seemed really run down. Was really not much to see, it was on route to some other things we were seeing that day so just walked through in about ten minutes. I didn’t know about the workshops maybe that would have made the experience more worthwhile.
