Starting Point: Designated Meeting Point
The ancient village of Akrotiri is one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. This prehistoric town was built around 2.000 BC (4000 years ago our era), was destroyed by the Theran eruption around 1.610 BC.
The fact that the town was buried under the volcanic ash helped preserve the remains of fine frescoes and many objects and artworks almost intact.
We will be able to walk at the same town streets the ancient Greeks have been walking 4.000 ago and get to know the details of their lifestyle.
This authentic village is truly a hidden gem of Santorini. Imagine being able to see the traditional vineyards, the lavastoned streets, the renovated and abandoned houses after the earthquake of 1956, the colorful and unique house doors, the traditional cave houses, and the authentic kafenio or restaurants nearby the main street of the village or its square. Megalochori village itself has a nice mixture of cream and white Cycladic houses with contrasting colorful doors and a fair few white churches with bright blue domes. Perissa - Perivolos Beach.
