Full description
Discover the remains of a prehistoric city that remained buried for almost four thousand years! Protected and preserved under a thick layer of volcanic material, it gives visitors some unique and valuable information about the art, architecture, and everyday life back in 2000 BC. In a time when most European neolithic communities lived in villages of timber houses or simple huts, the Mediterranean civilization was already literate. Walking within a 4000 year old perfectly preserved settlement, getting to understand how the society was organized and how people lived their lives, seeing the paved streets, and the remains of large 2-3 story building complexes, kitchen and toilette facilities, unique wall paintings and a perfect drainage – sewage system; is an experience surely not to be missed! Although the site itself is very well preserved, seeing it with a guide provides in-depth information, allowing the visitor to truly appreciate its importance. Your experienced and licensed guide will pick you up from your hotel and offer you a fully guided tour of the site, and an unforgettable trip into the past.

Wow oh wow! Georgia gave us an A+ tour of Akrotiri. Her knowledge of and enthusiasm for the site, Cycladic culture, and the ancient Mediterranean blew us away. She kept an art historian, her history buff husband, and three children ages 10-16 equally engaged with her fun facts and easy, conversational demeanor. Also, Georgia arranged a seamless and luxurious transfer to and from our hotel in Fira. See Akrotiri with Georgia - she will teach you things you would never otherwise know. Brava!

a MUST-DO tour while in Santorini

Our guide Georgia was was both very-knowledgable and fun! Akrotiri is a fascinating 'time-capsule' of an ancient civilization caught in a moment-of-time when the massive caldera of Santorini/Thera erupted c1600BC, crippling the Minoans and helping pave the way for the Achaean/Greeks to arrive on the scene. If you liked Pompeii, you will love this tour.
