Yes indeed, just install nautilus-open-terminal:

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

Then, log out and log back in and you'll have a new option when you right-click in any nautilus directory.

Only drawback to this nautilus extension is that it can not be set to open terminal like tilda (http://askubuntu.com/questions/354890/how-to-set-default-terminal-to-tilda-or-yakuake-when-using-open-in-terminal-fr). But apart from that it works great. – Rafal Jan 13 '14 at 13:10
That context menu is standard in xfce. – exussum Jan 13 '14 at 16:30

You should be able to open a terminal window from anywhere using Ctrl+Alt+t on the keyboard.

It doesn't opens a terminal from my current directory but main directory. – hellzone Jan 13 '14 at 13:34
I like Guake. It does a Quake-like drop down terminal using F12, but it opens at / and not at the current directory. – TecBrat Jan 13 '14 at 14:49
