Description

Our private van will pick you up from the agreed location and bring you to the archeological site. I will meet you there and once we get your tickets we will start our 'trip' in prehistoric times. You will have the chance to discover the remains of a prehistoric city that remained buried for almost four thousand years, protected and preserved under a thick layer of volcanic material. Learn about the art, architecture, and everyday life back in 2000 BC. In a time when most European neolithic communities lived in villages of timber houses or simple huts, the Mediterranean civilization was already literate. You will explore a 4000-year-old perfectly preserved settlement, stroll around the paved streets, and see the remains of large 2-3 story building complexes that were decorated with unique wall paintings and had kitchen and toilet facilities and a perfect drainage system. Visiting Akrotiri is an experience surely not to be missed! Although the site itself is very well preserved, seeing it with a guide provides in-depth information, allowing the visitor to truly appreciate its importance.
