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 and we will travel 3. 600 years ago. With my help and your imagination, we will bring the prehistoric town to life. 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?
After we meet each other we will head to the southern part of the island where one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 60s was made, Akrotiri! There, we will travel 3. 600 years back in time and explore one of the most advanced prehistoric towns of antiquity. The whole archaeological site is easy to walk and under a bio-climatic shelter. On the way, we will come across the famous vineyards and look at their weird shape up close. We will admire the view and of course, we will talk about the island. After visiting the site we will drive to Fira the capital. There, we will find the prehistoric museum of Thera that holds some of the most important findings and of course the wallpaintings. The tour will end with a short walk in Fira. **If you are a cruise ship passenger you should know that the port in Santorini is tendered. You will be brought to the old harbor and then board the cable car to reach the main town. That's where I will be waiting for you so we can start our tour!
