Itinerary

Step 1

In the south of the island lies the ancient city of Akrotiri. For many it is known as the Pompeii of the Cyclades, which also gave rise to the legend of the lost continent of Atlantis.

Visiting Akrotiri allows you to uncover a Minoan city from the mid-seventeenth century BC, as it was just before the great volcanic eruption that destroyed the island. A city complete with streets, squares, houses, walls decorated with murals, daily utensils, and even remains of the complex drainage system used by the Minoans. It is an archaeological gem.
