Akrotiri Archaeological Site

The discovery of the prehistoric town of Akrotiri will amaze you! One of the most advanced towns of the ancient world was destroyed and lost beneath a thick layer of volcanic ash for millenniums due to the volcanic eruption of 1613 b.C. That volcanic eruption changed the ancient world and somehow inspired a very known myth... Atlantis! Together with an archaeologist-licensed tourist guide, you will walk through the narrow alleys of the prehistoric city where you will realize the importance of that ancient culture even nowadays! But most of all you will learn about the beginning of the Myth dedicated to the lost city of Atlantis!
