The project

Until 2014 the 23rd Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities was responsible for the Byzantine and post-Byzantine monuments in Euboea, Boeotia and Skyros. The project 'Multi-media services and web-based information for places of archaeological interest in Eubeoa and Boeotia' was designed by the head and staff of the 23rd Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities, and was realised at part of the NSRF 2007-2013.
