Gina – United States

Our guide, Georgia was excellent! Knowledgeable, and friendly. Very worth getting a guide. She paints a picture of what life was like and gives so much context that would be totally unknowable without her input. Highly recommend!

C
Charles – United States

Katy what a wonderful guy! She was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. My only recommendation is that it could’ve been longer!

Full description

Explore the archaeological site of Akrotiri on a private guided walking tour. Discover Santorini's prehistoric settlement, stroll around the paved streets and squares, and the remains of high-building complexes, in a city where every corner holds a piece of the past waiting to be discovered.
After meeting your guide right at the entrance of the archeological site, grab your tickets and start an unforgettable trip to the past. Explore a well-preserved 4,000-year-old settlement that was buried under volcanic ashes after a strong eruption around 1600 B.C.
Learn how society was organized and how people lived their lives back then. Walk around some 2-3 storied buildings, see kitchens and toilet facilities, paved streets and squares, and their drainage system. While your guide will show you photos of the original wall paintings that used to decorate the buildings.
As you explore, hear about the theories that connect the site with the myth of the lost city of Atlantis.
Being or not a history enthusiast, this guided tour of Akrotiri, is an experience not to be missed.
