Akrotiri Village

On the southern end of Santorini, the village of Akrotiri encapsulates all the island’s history in one gorgeous location. Here is where the prehistoric civilization thought to be the mythical Atlantis was developed, only to meet its untimely demise by the devastating earthquake that reshaped the island and changed the course of its history. The excavations of Akrotiri, or else known as the Aegean’s Pompeii, is a must-see to get to know a highly advanced civilization, whereas the Kasteli and the Goulas (the watchtower) of Akrotiri show its medieval heritage, one brimming with culture and tradition. Beauty and history become one at Akrotiri, a village worth exploring every corner!
