The archaeological site of Akrotiri is located in the homonymous village and is one of the most important findings of the pre-historic age. The town was covered in ash after a volcanic eruption in the 17th century BC and is perfectly preserved. You can walk around the debris of this town with the multi-storey buildings, admire the signs of a prosperous past and travel back in time, imagining how the locals used to live there thousands of years ago.
