Akrotiri Ancient City, Santorini (Greece)
After being buried in the Volcanic ash of the catastrophic eruption that occured in the year 1613 BC, the Ancient city of Akrotiri in Greece was excavated fairly recently in the year 1967 and has been a major tourist attraction that appears on almost all the must visit lists of all travellers. This age old Minoan city is located on the Akrotiri Peninsula, the Akrotiri archaeological site is housed within a protective structure with wooden walkways that allow you to explore the ruins here from close. You can explore the three story high buildings that have survived along with the precisely planned drainage systems and well preserved stashes of pottery. Akrotiri town is also located nearby but at times can be overlooked by those who visit the Akrotiri Island, since the road to the Archaeological site does not pass through the town. The narrow peninsula boasts of two pristine and charming Akrotiri Beaches, Red Beach and Vlychada. Tourists also enjoy a visit to the Caldera Beach located inside the crater of the volcano. Many local tourists like to spend their Holidays in Akrotiri in Santorini, weekends and such since the air is clean, the food is fresh and the beaches here are not so crowded.
Attractions in Akrotiri:
Needless to say, the most drawing attraction in Akrotiri is the ancient Minoan settlement, first parts of which were excavated way back in 1967 and the work to find more building, the structure continues till date. Well protected by the same cause that destroyed it, the volcanic debris has made Akrotiri, Santorini one of the most well-preserved sites in all of Greece. Here in the Akrotiri Museum you can view the various maritime paintings that were made on the walls of the buildings in the main square of the town, along with artistic pottery articles and other such creative items. One of the most valuable things found here in Akrotiri archaeological site was a horse statue made of gold but hollow from inside proving that this civilization was much more advanced in their artistic ways than any other of that age.

Read on to find out why our customers love us!
Though the town is close by, it is often missed because it does not lie on the road to the ruins. Many people do visit the town to spend the day at the beaches here.
Generally small family run restaurants with home-style cooking dot the town of Akrotiri, where the fish is fresh and the ingredient are locally grown.
