Ancient Phaistos was located east of the Mediterranean Sea and south of Heraklion, the second largest city of Minoan Crete. The name Phaistos survives from ancient Greek references to a city in Crete of that name at, or near, the current ruins. Through the detailed 3d reconstruction of the monument, the visitor is offered a first-person navigation in the original form of the monument from any place, at any time.

iGuide Phaistos VR aims to enhance the user’s experience as a “digital” visitor to archaeological sites and monuments.

Rebuild and unearth the past of Phaistos where historical myths of rivalries between gods and mortals took place:
• Navigate through endless corridors
• Compare reconstructed and present versions of the palace
• Customize your tour with a personalized alternative guided tour that will include, apart from narration, animations and educational games!

The subject of the tour’s animations is based on (a) social, such as the everyday life of the monument’s inhabitants, (b) historical, e.g., construction, destruction or excavation, and (c) mythological elements.

iGuide Phaistos seeks to create a digital cultural reference point, by expanding our cultural assets to a global audience of varying interests and ages. It combines entertainment and education in an accessible and fun way for a wide audience of visitors while also developing a detailed tool for researchers.

Guide your way through the adventure!
