Akrotiri

Built around the site of a Bronze Age settlement, Akrotiri grew into a small modern village on Santorini’s southwestern side. It faces the volcanic caldera, a vast sea-filled basin created by eruptions that shaped the island, while the open Aegean lies beyond the southern coast. The nearby archaeological site of Akrotiri preserves streets, multi-storey buildings and vivid wall paintings buried beneath volcanic ash, providing rare evidence of life in the prehistoric Aegean. Village lanes, churches and terraces retain the restrained white-and-blue character associated with the Cyclades.
