Experience in person the grandeur of Ancient Greek civilization, by visiting a prehistoric town hosting some of the most beautiful Frescos in Europe. Don't forget to take a hat and your sunscreen ! Read more

A step back in time, to 1627 B.C.. All the artifacts have been moved to the Archeological museum in Thera, so begin your introduction to the Minoan civilization there. Read more

Take a sunbed by 10 euro all day long, bring your drinks, snaks and comfortable sandals for the rocks in the beach , enjoy the views and refresh yourself in the delicious cold water of egeo sea????

Here you could see the town site. You will not be able to see the wall paintings and pottery here. It is in the prehistoric museum of thira.

Definitely do the guided tour here. 100 Euros for over an hour and of course that is across a group so as many people as you can. The tour provides great context.

The settlement was destroyed in the Theran eruption and buried in volcanic ash, preserving fine Frescoes , objects and artworks. Many believe this is the Inspiration for Plato's Atlantis . Read more

A 'must visit' when in Santorini. The huge structure covering the site is just as interesting as the ancient city itself!

Helps to visit the Museum of Prehistoric Thera in Fira (http://4sq.com/cBIGlM), which houses many of the Akrotiri artifacts and frescoes , before going to Akrotiri.

One of the must-see places in the island . Try having a guided tour if possible. Definitely worth the 5EUR!

5€ for entrance but you'll definitely want & need a guide, which is 10€/person. The 2012 renovation is a stunning archaeological piece!

Definitely worth the €5 entry price. Try and book a guide though as there is alot that needs explanation. A must see place on the island .

One of the few cultural heritage sites on Santorini. Go to the museums in Fira first to appreciate the ruins.

This is one of the archaeological sites in Greece where a good guide, or at least a good guidebook, will come in handy as explanations are needed for one to really appreciate what unfolds before you.

Disappointing. Fascinating ruins, but lacking good info for the visitor. Needs more to help people understand the life & times of those who lived there. Could be so much better. Maybe pay for a guide?

Amazing site; well worth visiting. Pity they put most of the interesting finds in the museum in Fira .

It is definitely worth the visit after its reconstruction. Do not miss the experience of Archaeological site of Akrotiri ! Read more

Nice small town , it has access to three amazing beaches .

A lot of ancient stones without context. It's probably an important site for archeologists but there is no engaging signage or guidance for visitors with an interest in history.

The Prehistoric Town of Akrotiri is definitely worth a visit, as it's an important eviden, even in the hottest summer days.

The old town of Santorini originally known as Thera which was the actual name of the island .

A prehistoric place like a few in the world. Take a guide, it will enrich your experience.

At last, the famous Archaeological Site of AKROTIRI on SANTORINI Island is open to visitors again. Try the experience!

Awesome remains of an ancient cultures. Better with a guide if option is available to you

Wow! Super impressive 3,500 yo ruins displaying how advanced civilization had the potential to be at that time.

Really worth it to get a guide.

A hole city buried under the ground after the massive explosion of the volcano . Wonderful

Love this place! Open again after many years of reconstruction. A must-see venue when you visit Santorini.

Interested in seeing how an ancient town was built and run? Akrotiri is the perfect place to see where the inspiration for Atlantis derived from. Read more

Must see! Easy to combine with red sand beach . Don't count on the bus system though

Must-go, nice price 5 euro, bus station and parking in front

Make sure you do some research of your own before you get here. No signage whatsoever, the "map" they give you on the way in only works well as a fan when you get hot. Such a shame.

One of the most important Minoan sites in Greece !

A roof shades the entire site, which is a nice feature in the summer heat

At the first time, I thought that OMG why do I have to come here? It's old, weird, ancient, .. bla blla but after finding out this is the lost city , I have to say "this place must be on you list" here

Free guided tour every 30 mins. The guide is extremely good!!

They close at 3 pm on Thursday in October! Double check if it is open before going there. Heart broken.

Definately NOT worth going! It's just a pile of stones they've put up themselves, with the use of cement and steal bars . The pilars the've placed all over te 'city ' are just too horrible to endure!

Unfortunately the place is not contextuallized with information or accient materials from the local. For people that aren't familiar are only rocks.

A Must-See attraction , of great interest.

Very carefully prepared space. Excellent guides. Lots of informations. The whole area is covered with a high tech roof - you can walk without being grilled by the sun.

Simply.....amazing!

Treasure: must visit!

Very interesting

Kinda cool to see

Disapointing. 12 euros per person, 6 euros to park and all that is left here is the stones. frescos and other findings are moved to Fira museum . There’s not even replicas. Just stones and ashes

Nicely preserved historical place , showing a whole village old buildings and life . Worth visiting .

Nothing interesting.

Da visitare assolutamente: gli scavi sono solo una minima parte di ciò che l'eruzione ha coperto della civiltà del luogo . Conservati al chiuso in un bioclima. Fate la visita guidata!

5€ за вход, 3€ для студентов. Отлично организована экспозиция . В отличие от большинства раскопок здесь вы ходите не под палящим солнцем, а в огромном павильоне с системой вентиляции
