About this experience
Journey to the ancient Minoan city of Akrotiri on the island of Santorini. Dubbed as Greece's own Pompeii, this ancient city dates back to the 5th century BC. After a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, it was buried in ash, preserving much of its frescoes and artwork. Roam around the archaeological site, housed within a large complex with suspended walkways, then take a stroll through the city to discover more of its history.
