Akrotiri, also known as the "Pompeii of the Aegean," is one of the most significant archaeological sites in Santorini. The prehistoric settlement, which reached its peak before being destroyed by an earthquake and subsequent volcanic eruption, was uncovered through excavations revealing impressively well-preserved buildings, public roads, and unique frescoes. Today, the archaeological site is protected by a modern bioclimatic roof, ensuring ideal conditions for the preservation of its findings.
