Overview

Step back 3500 years ,on a private guided tour of prehistoric Akrotiri, one of the most important archaeological sites in the Aegean.

With a licensed tourist guide, explore the exceptionally well-preserved remains of a Bronze Age settlement buried by a volcanic eruption around 1600 BC. Walk through two- and three-storey buildings and discover evidence of an advanced society, including kitchens, toilets, and a sophisticated drainage system far ahead of its time.

Learn about the daily life, social structure, and culture of Akrotiri’s inhabitants, and hear the story of the famous frescoes that once decorated their homes.
Your private guide brings the site to life with clear explanations, historical context, and engaging storytelling.

Akrotiri Archaeological Site

Being or not a history enthusiast, this guided tour of the Prehistoric city of Akrotiri is an experience surely not to be missed!A Bronze Age settlement, an archaeological site that encapsulates fascinating insights into life back in 2000 B.C. After the great volcano eruption, the place remained buried under a thick layer of volcanic material as a Greek Pompeii for almost 4000 years, until it was accidentally discovered, during works to get volcanic soil from the island of Santorini to be used for building and insulating the Suez Canal.The excavations revealed one of the best-preserved ancient cities to this day with dense urban planning. In this guided tour walking around the 4000-year-old settlement, you will get an understanding of how the society was organized. See the paved streets, the remains of about 40 two-three stories high building complexes, kitchen and toilette facilities, a perfect plumping and drainage – sewage system, and astonishingly well-preserved paintings.
