Akrotiri is one of the most sought out getaways on the island.

Some speculate that Akrotiri could be the lost city of Atlantis.

Akrotiri is also known as the "Minoan Pompeii", is one of the places you should not miss when visiting Santorini

Visitors tour the Akrotiri site along ancient Akrotiri's main street, lined with stores and warehouses of the ancient commercial city.

The impressive buildings of Akrotiri include three-story houses faced with masonry (some with balconies) and extensively decorated with frescoes, which were very well preserved in the ash.

Most of them are displayed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
