1Akrotiri Archaeological Site
Visit Pompeii of the Aegean with a licensed tourist guide - graduate of History & Archaeology. The archaeological site of Akrotiri is considered to be one of the most important prehistoric settlements ever found. Back in the 17th century BC, people of Akrotiri lived in a town of sophisticated multi-storeyed buildings with magnificent wall-paintings, had elaborate drainage and water supply systems, and enjoyed prosperity. Together we will walk along the cobblestone alleys, see the first toilet of Europe and admire the wall paintings and pottery they made . All this technology was suddenly lost when one of the largest volcanic eruptions occurred. The whole town got buried under the volcanic ash and like Pompeii, froze in time. The description of Plato for the destruction of the mythological island of Atlantis has many common points with the story of Akrotiri, which also disappeared without leaving any trace. So was Akrotiri the lost Atlantis?
