Story

HEPTAPOLIS will be decorated in the streets, parks, but also in the houses and galleries with marble, stone and bronze statues of Greek and foreign poets, writers, authors, scientists, artists, national heroes and recognized political leaders.

The visitor of HEPTAPOLIS will be able to use the GPS that will be provided, upon entering the GATE OF LIGHT, to mark the statue that will impress or interest him/her, while walking through the areas of Polis and by pressing the appropriate button, to see in electronic form, on the screen of the GPS, in the language he/she has chosen, the history of the statue or a dedication plaque.

In this way, the visitor will be able, without the accompaniment of a guide, to be informed through the statues and to study, without any particular effort, the history of the Ancient Greek world.

Certain figures, such as those of Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, etc., will be depicted on statues of 2 to 4 metres in height, placed on marble bases.
