The data is free to download and use β for research, education, your own GIS project, an app, or a publication. You don't need to ask us for permission or let us know beforehand β just download the file in whichever format suits you.
License
The catalogue data is made available under the Open Data Commons Open Database License 1.0 (ODbL 1.0) β the full terms are in Β§7 of the Terms of Use. In short: you may copy, adapt, combine with other datasets, and build your own works on top of it, as long as you keep a standard attribution and share any derivative database under the same license.

What this export does not include
This file contains catalogue data only β it does not include photographs of interiors or frescoes. Images shown on the site have a separate legal status: the copyright in the images of the archaeological and historical monuments presented here belongs to the Greek State. See the Legal Notice for details.
