## What is Atika?

You're about to drive past something incredible and not know it's there.

Atika pings you when you walk or drive near ancient ruins, Byzantine churches, Venetian fortresses, and 17,843 more sites - including ones with no signs, no markers, and no mention in any guidebook.

NEW: YOUR POCKET HISTORIAN

The map finds the ruin. Your Pocket Historian tells you why it matters. Every notable place opens a grounded story across five lenses: Myth and Gods, History, Architecture, Everyday Life, and Why It Matters. The periods and gods are woven through as tappable links into a browsable index. Grounded in real sources, never invented.

HOW IT WORKS
Your phone listens for history. When you're near a site, you get a subtle alert - "Byzantine church, 3 min walk ahead" or "Mycenaean tomb, take next exit." The app adapts to how you move: compass-guided alerts when walking, voice narration when driving.

WALK THE PLAKA
Alerts show walk times, not kilometers. Haptic pulses get stronger as you approach. Your phone stays in your pocket — you feel the past through vibration.

DRIVE THE PELOPONNESE
50 km horizon radar catches sites before you pass the exit. Cruise mode narrates each site hands-free. Voice alerts so your eyes stay on the road.

WHAT'S FREE
5 discoveries a day, ~2,000 major sites on the map, 5 km background radar. Everything works offline. No account required. Your location never leaves your device.

EXPLORER PASS - one-time purchase
All 17,880 sites. 10 discoveries a day. Full stories and history. 12 km radar. Less than a museum ticket.

EXPLORER PRO - annual subscription
Unlimited discoveries. Full audio guide with Greek pronunciation. 50 km radar. Cruise mode. Try free for 7 days - no card needed, drops to Free automatically.

BUILT FOR GREECE
Every monastery on Meteora. Every fortress in the Peloponnese. Every temple on Crete. 17,880 sites mapped with era, type, and description - embedded on your device, not streamed from a server.
