First stop the Prehistorical settlement of Akrotiri, located in the southern part of the island, a city that has remained alive for 3.500 years beneath the lava. The settlement (approx. 20 hectares) remained alive for 3.500 years beneath the lava and the ashes, the volcanic materials covered the entire island and the town itself protecting at the same time the buildings and their contents through the ages. The first habitation at the site dates from the late Neolithic times (the 4th millennium B.C.) and thanks to the elaborate drainage system, the sophisticated multi-storied buildings with the magnificent wall-paintings, furniture and vessels found we can understand the great development and prosperity of this civilization.
