Is Akrotiri Worth Visiting?

Hello! We are a family of 4 and will be spending our vacation in Santorini next year. Our itinerary includes many sights and we would like to ask if we should include Akrotiri?

Definitely! Akrotiri is one of the most important archeological sites in the Cyclades. With stunning ruins to explore, Akrotiri is a must see. More specifically, it is a settlement dating back to 4000 BC. It was later buried under ash (around 1627 BC) due to a volcanic eruption. Due to the ash, remains such as paved roads, walls and high quality pottery are preserved in exceptional condition.

Therefore, since you are visiting Santorini, we highly recommend a guided tour. In fact, we already organize tours in Akrotiri. You can read all about it here. If you want more information, do not hesitate to send us an email: info@kidslovegreece.com.
