A Walk Through Ancient Miletus
The city of Miletus on the western coast of Asia Minor, one of the most important cities in Ionia, comes to life again in the Virtual Reality production
A Walk Through Ancient Miletus. This production, in the special environment of immersion of Tholos, uses some new technical characteristics, which allow the development of multiple directions of digital life in the virtual space and not a predetermined course.
In the Archaic Period Miletus was the site of the most important scientific discoveries. In the beginning of the 6th century BC the Milesians Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes, seeking the primal elements of the world, set the foundations for the development of a scientific, deterministic interpretation, devoid of mythic genealogies.

Visitors can explore the virtual city and learn about the most important public buildings. Starting from the gate at the Port of the Lions, they enter the sanctuary of Apollo Delphinios. Then, they visit the Ionian Stoa, which housed the stores of the city, the Hellenistic Gymnasium, the North Agora and the Bouleuterion, being able to see even the details of the buildings' architecture. They can fly over the city for one last panoramic view of the perfect city planning design, or even dive into its port.
