Activity itinerary

Akrotiri Archaeological Site
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Following a pick-up from your hotel, transfer by air-conditioned coach to the archaeological site of Akrotiri (**please note that every Tuesday the archaeological site of Akrotiri will be closed**). Explore an ancient city that was frozen in time after a volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago. Step inside with your guide and learn about the Minoan city before the devastating event occurred. Gaze in awe at the ruins of multi-storied buildings that date back to the 16th century and admire the intricately designed drainage system that hints at a talented civilization far more advanced than its time suggests. Stroll along the main street, lined with old stores and warehouses from the ancient city. Learn about the traditional ceramic artefacts, such as pithoi (earthenware jugs).
Emporio
  • 1h
Our next stop will be at Emporio Village where you can explore one of the oldest and most authentic traditional villages of Santorini, built like a small labyrinth and visit its medieval fortress (15th century).
