Amphipolis: Tours to the ancient tomb for the public at large

Armchair travelers can visit the site through 3D virtual tours to the ancient tomb

Lead archaeologist Katerina Peristeri, the woman heading excavations at Ancient Amphipolis, is a much-envied woman as armchair archaeologists around the world can but dream of what it must be like to stroll through the mysterious 2,300-year-old tomb. That’s where computer programmers step in, to offer the next best thing to reality – virtual reality – thus giving the public at large the chance to explore the 2,300-year-old tomb.
So go ahead, enter the ancient tomb, courtesy of greektoys.org, and enjoy its beauty –
