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.

Rohan's 7 days trip to Santorini

Everything was great. We didn't have to think about our next move because everything was very well planned. Meteora, for sure! It is one of the best places to visit on earth. A geological and architectural marvel!! Maria and George in Meteora were one of the best guides.

Uday's 7 days trip to Santorini

1. Excellent suggestion on the Travel Agent options. 2. Payment terms and modality of installments is user friendly. 3. It is probably the mandate of travel triangle to facilitate the travel schedule chosen by the customer. Perfect. Wish some inputs are mildly/indirectly provided by Travel Triangle in future to the prospective customers on the validity of their travel dates as far as tour season in the destination is concerned. If the travel dates fall in low season period, the shops are 90% closed, the internal transfers/ mode of travel (e.g ferries in Greece for the travel between islands get shut down in the low season period). 4. Hope there exist efforts from Travel Triangle to get the partnered agents in one room and train them of certain policy aspects . I am confident the top mgmt at Travel Triangle is aware about this. There is increased trend in higher middle class for aportioning funds for international travel and more over distinctly pronounced trend ( at least in Mahatrashtra) to avoid travelling thru big tour-arranging companies where the cotravellers don't exactly wear compatible mind-sets. Such travellers need more design inputs while deciding on the travel period for a given location. Hope above feed back would be taken in right perspective . Thanks for your time Dr. Uday B Gokhale, 9820830461

Shatabdi's 8 days trip to Santorini

I am sooooooo happy with the Mauritius trip. Ms.Ishita 9f My Trav Plan took care of everything very smooooooothly. Her behavoiur is way too good. She is kind, generous & very understanding. She made the changes dat I required very patiently. I got one of my best trip. The hotel chosen for me, Veranda,Grand baie was simply a wow..All d staffs were so friendly nd caring. They took extra care for the whole 5 days. The cab chosen nd the driver was Mr.Suben. He is indeed a well mannered, helpful nd a very kind man. He went out of his way to help me in many places. Special thanks to him. Being a solo traveller, all the above mentioned facts matter to me very much. So thank you so much and looking forward for another trip.

Ramkicrn's 7 days trip to Santorini

Took a week long family trip to Greece planned by Ishita and executed by Ishan from MTP vacations. Overall great experience. Pros: Ishita from sales side was quite flexible in tailoring our trip to Greece and accommodated most of my inputs towards locations, length of stay, hotels etc., Quote given was quite competitive compared to peers. Ishan from operations side stayed on top of our itinerary throughout our stay providing pickup co-ordinates, driver and stay details. Got us upgraded to better travel modes as needed to ensure our schedules won't go astray, made us positively surprised and appreciated. Was available on phone, chat through the stay to ensure our travel experience is not compromised. Cons/Improvement areas: Minor discomforts were to wait for end of the day to know exact details of next day's plans.. Though nothing went off-track majorly, couple of schedule changes were done (of course for a better experience), but weren't communicated till late. While we were able to take it in our stride and play along, might not be the case for others . Both the above are more for ppl who don't like surprises in schedules, especially bit older travelers. Sales team were able to accommodate my asks on locations, however would be great if they are forthcoming with such family friendly options for uninitiated travelers. But Overall lovely family vacation enabled by MTP team!! Keep up the good work...

It was a really an awesome experience and very smooth everywhere. Everything went very well as planned and mentioned in itinerary. Vishal - Thanks a lot for arranging this wonderful trip and coordinating with me from beginning of trip plan to end of the journey. Vishal was very much patience and very good in handling the customer and to achieve the customer utmost satisfaction and did it very well in my case. Not but not the least , TRAVEL TRIANGLE - My initial impression was bit mixed feeling to proceed with Travel Triangle for the trip (because I didnt approach through any referral, I just got it from Google with some positive reviews). But getting in touch through calls and and drafting my honeymoon plan with my travel agent Vishal my perspective is entire changed and fully satisfied. Definitely, I will consider Travel Triangle for my next International trip for sure. I am giving 5 out of 5 stars rating for the entire trip and especially for travel agent Vishal. Please continue the same.

Jatin's 7 days trip to Santorini

One of the first things someone looks for while hiring an agent is TRUST TRUTH AND SINCERITY. I must point say Prashant and Rohit from HUB HOLIDAYS went an extra mile to give us COMFORT, CONFIDENCE and COMMITMENT. An expert in their domain, helped us all along. asking for changes including the ones even during the trips! They were up for the challenge and went an extra mile even at 4 am in the morning. I wish them best of luck and would recommend them to one n all. 11 on 10 from our side. Much appreciate all the effort ☺️☺️

FAQ's of Santorini

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.
