About

How would you feel if an ancient robot served you wine? How good are you at the (o)stomachion of Archimedes, the first puzzle in history? Are you ready to compete in the ancient"trias", the first tic-tac-toe game? These are some of the questions that visitors can answer at the Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology. 

The museum is home to around 200 functional models, accompanied by rich audio-visual material, aiming to prove that the technology of ancient Greeks was very similar to the beginnings of our modern technology.
