Highlights
Step back nearly 4,000 years on a private guided tour of prehistoric Akrotiri, one of the most important archaeological sites in the Aegean. With a licensed professional guide, explore the exceptionally well-preserved remains of a Bronze Age settlement buried by a volcanic eruption around 1600 BC. Walk through two- and three-storey buildings and discover evidence of an advanced society, including kitchens, toilets, and a sophisticated drainage system far ahead of its time. Learn about the daily life, social structure, and culture of Akrotiri’s inhabitants, and hear the story of the famous frescoes that once decorated their homes. Your private guide brings the site to life with clear explanations, historical context, and engaging storytelling. This private tour allows you to explore at your own pace, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of this remarkable prehistoric town—an unforgettable journey into Santorini’s ancient past.

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.
