Museum of the Ancient Greek Technology “Kostas Kotsanas”

This activity is only available in Greek.

What did ancient Greek cities look like? And could they have had technologies that echo what we use today?

This interactive journey retraces the steps of Heron and Archimedes, uncovering how ancient Greeks pioneered “green” technologies that served their society and improved urban life. From clever mechanics to sustainable systems, it’s a story of timeless innovation.

Starting at the Acropolis and passing through Alexandria, London, Singapore and Dubai, we’ll explore how today’s “city of the future” may have roots in ancient inventions.
