Why go

His equally famous follower Aristotle studied here for 20 years before leaving to found a school of his own. The site is an outdoor free park where you can see the excavated ruins. The ruins are not well explained or particularly impressive, but they do form a very nice park in a charming family oriented neighborhood. The exact coordinates given here are for a sign which best explains the various ruins in the park.
