Our guide was very knowledgeable about the ruins at Akrotiri. She took her time to explain how excavations were done as well as showing what the community looked like in ancient times. She had some fascinating things to share about the daily life of the people during that period including how they worshipped, ate, and lived before the volcano erupted over 3700 years ago.

A must see glimpse into the past
As an archaeologist this site was a dream come true. It is beautifully preserved and very accessible with the walkways. The site was brought to life by our impressive guide Georgia. I highly recommend a visit and to organise a guided tour if you can. Pick up and drop off was well organised

Amazing Ancient City - Must see
This is an amazing archaeological site and will someday be a UNESCO site. They only have 5% of the site uncovered, and that is not enough to qualify for UNESCO. The town is from 7000 BC and was abandoned right before the island of Santorini exploded. They used barter (instead of money) to trade and lived in 4 story homes. They also had running water and toilets! These are some of the oldest toilets that have been found. The roof collapsed over this dig a couple years ago, but it has all been rebuilt and is in great shape. The roof over it protects what they have uncovered from the elements so that it will not be destroyed. There is a raised walkway around the dig. It is a very easy walk and someone that is mobility challenge would be fine at this site. We went with a guide, and I would highly recommend to do that as well as that way you really get the story of this ancient civilization. If you are going to Santorini this should not be missed. The bus stops at the site.

Akrotiri archaeological site
The site could be very interesting and the glance when you enter is fantastic, but it runs out quickly and the visit is quick and a little boring. All the frescoes and artefacts have been moved to the museum. You walk along these walkways and observe the remains of this ancient city destroyed by the volcano, but after a while it only seems like you are observing old stones. The explanation signs are only in Greek and English, there are TVs with videos but only one works. Too bad they could take away the originals but leave reconstructions to make it clear how life happened. As they did only in a small space. The cost of the ticket is 12 euros and I recommend checking the timetables because they change every day.
