Itinerary
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!

About Santorini
Santorini is a crescent of volcanic cliffs in the Aegean, where whitewashed villages and blue domes look over a flooded caldera to famous sunsets.
The island is the rim of an ancient volcano whose eruption left a vast caldera filled by the sea. On its edge, Fira, the main town, and the clifftop villages of Imerovigli and Firostefani cling to the slopes, while Oia, at the northern tip, is celebrated for its sunset views over windmills and whitewashed houses.
Top-ranked sights in Santorini: Red Beach, White Beach, Santorini Volcano.
