German woman returns ancient mosaic fragments taken from Greece in the sixties

Fragments of three floor mosaics removed from archaeological sites in the 1960s were returned to Greece on October 10, the culture and sports ministry said in an announcement on Wednesday, according to ANA.

The three fragments were sent in the post to the Greek embassy in Berlin by a German woman, who admitted that two had been taken from the island of Delos and the third from the Library of Hadrian in Athens, the ministry said.
