A virtual 3D tour application that offers visitors an immersive experience of the city’s neoclassical heritage of the 19th century.

What is “Piraeus ArchWalks”

“Piraeus ArchWalks” is an AR virtual tour application that consists of four architectural walks that start at key locations and offer access to Piraeus’ hidden gems. The program is designed to promote Piraeus’ cultural heritage and architecture as a new tourism product.

This makes it easy for visitors to navigate the city and discover its architectural treasures at their own pace.
