AKROTIRI TOUR

Let's explore the Lost Atlantis

Akrotiri Map Santorini
In this tour we visit one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the world: Akrotiri or the “Prehistoric Pompei”. A prosperous city, a cosmopolitan port that was destroyed extremely violently at the peak of its power 3.600 years ago by a tremendous volcanic eruption. Akrotiri is preserved though in excellent condition because of the volcanic materials that were ejected during the Minoan eruption and “mummified” the whole settlement. We consider ourselves extremely lucky that we have the chance to wander around and admire the spectacular prehistoric civilization under the brand new bioclimatic shelter that improves the quality of our tour.During our visit and as we will be walking in the cobblestones roads created during the prehistory we have the chance to admire the private dwellings and the giant public buildings, the perfect urban plan of the city, the sewage system that people had created during the Late Bronze Age, rare pieces of ceramic, astonishing wall paintings and many other findings and various aspects that will impress us in manifold ways. The “Akrotiri case” makes us recall the Atlantis described by Plato – the story about a prosperous land that disappeared without trace, sunk into the sea by the anger of gods. What do you think? Today, the archeological site of Akrotiri is by far one of the major attractions in Santorini. The site attracts lovers of mystery of rites and cults of populations so far over the time,yet so close and sometimes more advanced in certain sectors. Definitely a must see addressed to visitors of all ages and fitness levels.

YOUR GUIDE

Eugenia Papadopoulou

Eugenia Papadopoulou, Santorini Tour Guide

My name is Eugenia and I am a certified, English, Italian, Spanish and Greek speaking tour guide. Being born and growing up in a place where myths and history blended across centuries, I developed a keen interest in culture and archaeology and a great curiosity about foreign cultures and languages. I studied Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Athens, majoring in Italian and Spanish literature and continued my education at the National School of Tour Guides, in Thessaloniki. Three years of intense classes and numerous tour-guides in Greece credited me with many fulfilling experiences.

I worked as a tour-leader in Italy, Check Republic, Serbia, Germany and Turkey. And in all these travels, I felt that getting to know a place was a lot more than sightseeing and museum visits. It was about the people and every day life, gastronomy and habits and all these particularities that make one country different from another. In Greece I have worked in various places such as Athens, Olympia, Mykonos, Thessaloniki, Meteora and Vergina.

For the last years, I have been working and living in Santorini. When I first step my foot on this island, I immediately had a feeling of belonging. Santorini is a place combining simplicity with greatness: the true Hellenic essence! Its rich historical and cultural background, the wild volcanic landscape, the white houses contrasting with the Aegean blue, the Cycladic light, the magical sunset in Oia, its aromatic wines and delicacies of its land, the vivid traditions and hospitality of its inhabitants make Santorini my paradise on earth… which I invite you to come and experience together with the Greek spirit and the warmth of the locals and I am sure you would be thrilled as much as I was…
