Full description

Put on your headphones and explore the layout of the prehistoric town, once buried under ashes, through the power of storytelling.

Such an interesting place and story, The best on Santorini..However.I was not a fan of the audio guide..Very difficult to follow where you should be standing and what to look at. and wording slightly too fast and technical.. The audio could have done a lot to bring to life the story and events but fell short of my hopes...But take the audio and extra time if you have no other option because you would miss a lot without something...Enjoy

I found the App and the entry information confusing. Not sure why the vouchers were not accepted and we required a separate entry ticket? Customer service was helpful. As for the audio tour there needs to be more clearly marked location points. Then better instructions when to moved to the next exhibit. Many visitors that did not choose the audio tour were walking in all directions. Still found it interesting.

We traveled from Milan to Venice to Florence to Tuscany to Rome and to Athens and this was by far my favorite stop. The exhibit is so well laid out and easy to navigate for a person in a wheelchair. It was comfortable even in the formidable heat we experienced on our trip. It was by far my favorite of all the things we did In our journey. I can’t wait to get back to see the completed lower level. I would suggest a marketing partnership with Atlantis 9D. It really helped put all the pieces together!! Bravo to all involved. Please send me donor information. Just amazing!!
