Stage 1

Begin your experience and make your first stop at the fascinating archaeological site of Akrotiri, an ancient Minoan
Bronze Age settlement that was destroyed and buried by a major volcanic eruption some 3,600 years ago. Stroll
around the semi-crumbled, multi-storied buildings with your archaeology-expert guide, and view the frescoes, pottery
and other relics as you hear how life would have been here centuries ago.
Of particular interest is the ingenious drainage system that testifies to the sophistication of the engineers of the time.
Many speculate that this timeworn site is home to the remains of Atlantis, a mythical city that was described by Greek
philosopher Plato. ( Please noted Entrance fees is 12 euro per person )

Stage 2

After Akrotiri, we visit Megalochori, One of the most serene and beautiful gems of the island. Megalochori is a traditional little village that will steal your heart with its unique aesthetics. Here, everything seems to have leapt out of a painting, while respect to tradition demands everywhere absolute silence.
