Visit Pompeii of the Aegean with a licensed tourist guide - graduate of History & Archaeology. The archaeological site of Akrotiri is considered to be one of the most important prehistoric settlements ever found. Back in the 17th century BC, people of Akrotiri lived in a town of sophisticated multi-storeyed buildings with magnificent wall-paintings, had elaborate drainage and water supply system, enjoying prosperity. Together we will walk along the cobblestone alleys, see the first toilet of Europe and admire the wallpaintings and pottery they made . All this beauty and "technology" was suddenly lost when one of the largest volcanic eruptions occurred. The whole town got buried under the volcanic ash and like Pompeii, froze in time. The description of Plato for the destruction of the mythological island of Atlantis has many common points with the story of Akrotiri, which also disappeared without leaving any trace. So was Akrotiri the lost Atlantis? Follow me in this tour and let's find out !
The meeting point will be at the entrance of the prehistoric town of Akrotiri located on the southern part of the island. You can drive there on your own or I can arrange a transfer at an extra cost. Message me for details! The site is open daily during the summer from May to October every Tuesday Wednesday Friday Saturday and Sunday 8. 00-20. 00. Except Monday Thursday 8. 30-15. 30 November to April 8. 30-15. 30 Closed on Tuesdays Buy the tickets online here to skip the line .
