6Akrotiri
Akrotiri is home to one of the most important archaeological sites in the Aegean region. Often referred to as the “Pompeii of the Aegean,” this ancient Minoan city was buried by volcanic ash during the eruption of Thera around 1600 BC. A visit to Akrotiri provides a glimpse into the advanced civilization that once thrived on Santorini. The well-preserved structures, intricate frescoes, and the sense of history in the air make this site truly remarkable.
