Visited this as a recommendation from the hotel. On arrival we discovered that it was free to get in as they do on certain days of the year (usually €12.00 per person). The site is of great archeological importance as, like Pompeii, it was totally...More

When I arrived to Santorini, I did not expect top rated archaeological excavations, so I was pleasantly surprised. There is much more to be revealed, but the site is a very good example of what a controlled environment should be. It is good for students...More

Wasn't expecting very much but went for a look anyway. I was very surprised. It was very well looked after and much more extensive than I had imagined. The building housing the complex has been extensively renovated and walkways well set out. Well worth a...More

A must-do when visiting Santorini-Thira. Very comfortable under cover, and huge - worth taking a guided tour for additional information. A visit to the pretty beach below is worthwhile. Recommended to proceed to the Old Thera site near Kamari afterwards for later history (Hellenic-Byzantine) -...More

Visited the site as my wife wanted to see the Akrotiri ruins, best to get a guide as you will not really understand or appreciate the archeological work behind it - otherwise it will be just looking at stones and rubble. Worthwhile a visit if...More

It's really interesting to hear about the village that disappeared 5,000 years ago, but that was so advanced that they could build three storey houses and could write. In the other hand is a shame to see that there's not much investment happening in the...More

I was expecting to see a lot more. I was a bit dissapointed. Not much information or interaction. To really understand the place a guide is a must otherwise it is just a pile of dirt. I am not sure how much the guide is....More
