Which Greek Monuments and Museums Have a 360° Virtual Tour
If you have ever looked for a virtual tour of a Greek museum, you know the problem. You find pages promising a digital tour, you open them, and inside there are photographs.
We built this list because we needed it ourselves. Every entry below was opened, not just checked for a working link. That distinction matters, because several pages called "virtual tour" respond perfectly and contain no tour at all.
Everything here was checked on 7 September 2026.

These have a real 360° virtual tour
The Acropolis, the monuments themselves. The Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike, in gigapixel panoramas by the Acropolis Restoration Service, shot between 2010 and 2014. Free, in English and Greek.The Acropolis Museum. A 360° spherical video through the galleries, a separate Parthenon Gallery tour, and further tours on Google Arts & Culture. Covered in detail in our Acropolis article.
Delphi, the most complete in Greece. An official digital tour in three parts: thirteen halls as a spatial walkthrough, the exhibits as rotatable 3D models, and a full guided tour in Greek Sign Language. Greek, English and French. It is the only Greek example that treated accessibility as a real part of the project. In detail here.
Mount Athos, the largest in scope. 204 virtual tours across 20 monasteries, 10 sketes and 3 caves, in three languages. Mount Athos observes the avaton, so women may not visit, and for them the tour is not an alternative to going but the only way to see it.
Meteora, unofficially only. There is no official tour. There is one very good one by AirPano, mostly aerial, English only. What exists and what is missing.
These say "virtual tour" and are not one
This is the part you will not find elsewhere, and the reason every page was opened.The Byzantine and Christian Museum. There is a page whose address ends in virtual-tour, it responds normally, and there is no tour inside it. It is thematic navigation through the collections. Useful, but not what the title says.
The Museum of Cycladic Art on Google Arts & Culture. 205 items and 2 online exhibits, all flat. No spatial tour.
Meteora on Google Arts & Culture. 10 items, flat. A monument being on the platform does not mean it has a tour. The Acropolis Museum on the same platform does.
And these have nothing. Vergina and Aigai: the official site is a visitor guide, opening hours and tickets. The "digital museum of Alexander the Great" mentioned in press coverage is a physical installation inside the new building, not something you can open from home. The National Archaeological Museum and the National Gallery are not on Google Arts & Culture at all.


What this list shows
Three things, and none of them is technological.First, digital presence does not follow a monument's importance. Delphi has three sections in three languages. Vergina, with the royal tombs, has nothing.
Second, the phrase "virtual tour" is used far more freely than the thing exists. If it matters to you, open the link before trusting it.
Third, where it was done properly, it was because someone decided to and found the funding. The tools were available to everybody.
Greek monuments we digitised ourselves. None of the tours above is ours. We do work on exactly this: submarine Proteus S-113, destroyer Velos D-16, the Kythira Semaphore Telegraph, the Nicopolis Museum and Hagia Sophia.
The list is short, and that is the point. Greece has thousands of monuments and a few dozen real virtual tours. If a museum, a collection or an archaeological site is your responsibility, tell us where it is and we will come back with a specific proposal, including what is needed on permits. We will keep this list updated. If you know of something missing, send it to us.
