Step back in time through the amazing pictures which take you into the heart of ancient Greece.
Through the hugely detailed cross-section pictures you can see how the Greeks lived at home by looking at all the details inside a house complete with servants, a resident philosopher and even a robber breaking his way in through a wall. You can also visit some of the major sites such as Apollo’s Temple at Delphi with its sacrifices, priestesses and worshippers.
