Subsequently, Mrs Natassa Miliaraki responsible for the development of the application announced the title, and Spiros Vrettos representing "Pliroforiki Technognosia Ltd." closed the event demonstrating the CD-ROM.
The CD-ROM, addressed to children aged over 11 has both an educational and entertaining character. Educational since its purpose is to familiarize the children with archaeology and the methods applied to unreveal us the past. Julius tours Delphi in the present and in the past and learns many things about the history of the area as well as the techniques and the methods used by the archaeologists in the excavations.
