Interesting Tour with Very Knowledgeable Guide
This was one of the most fascinating tours we did on our trip to Greece. I highly recommend Giannis as he is so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of Akrotiri and Santorini. You should follow this visit with a trip to the Museum of Prehistoric Thira to see the frescoes and objects they recovered from the site.

Amazing Tour of Akrotiri Archeological Site!
This was the best money we spent in all of Santorini. Ioannis was a magnificent tour guide who with all his archeological experience, including having worked at the site, was an amazing story teller and he brought the site to life. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience
What a great tour of the island. Dimitri was a fantastic guide. If you want to see the real Santorini up close and personal, this is the tour to take.

Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Definitely recommend. Afterwards, we walked down to the water and had a nice lunch at The Cave Tavern of Nikolas. Very good!

Insightful experience
Well informed guide explained ancient life on the island. Not 5 stars because it felt as if he was running through a script, rather than actually interacting with us. But we’re glad we followed his advice and visited in the afternoon because the site was almost empty. That made it a thoughtful experience. Easy and inexpensive to take the bus back and forth from Fira.

Worth the visit!
A good indoor activity! Highly recommend the audio tour to get the most out of walking through this historic site. We were mesmerized by the architecture and the preservation of such a historical moment for Santorini/Akrotiri. It’s very well done and worth the visit!

This tour was amazing. Akrotiri was more impressive to me than Pompeii on some levels and I would recommend to anyone. I think what made the whole tour more special was tania our guide. She was informative and fun and I have been on lots of tours around the world and she was the best guide I’ve had. Thank you for an amazing day

Akrotiri and villages was fantastic!
Our guide Dimitri was amazing! We had a hard time getting off our ship because of the tendering. We were an hour late and had to meet him in a different location. He found us and added the hour onto our tour so we didn’t miss anything.
Akrotiri was fantastic! Not to be missed. We drove to a black sand beach, several villages and to a beautiful monastery at the top of the mountain. It was a wonderful tour. Highly recommend!

This was the best experience we had on vacation. Very informative and our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the site. He was also able to share his experiences working on the site in previous years. His passion definitely showed through.

Loved the half day tour.
We especially enjoyed the typical traditional village and Akrotiri. Our guide, Tatiyana, was delightful, entertaining and always happy.

Amazing Akrotiri
How preserved ancient settlements at the Akrotiri site were. The entire ancient city was buried under volcanic ashes after a massive eruption. As you navigate through an impressive network of buildings and rooms filled with earthenware you can imagine what life was like.
The audio guide on the phone worked a treat.

Nicknamed the Pompeii of the Aegean, Akrotiri is a must for ancient history buffs.
The excavations are covered by a protective ceiling structure, which provides shelter from the hot Santorini sun.
With level, wooden boardwalks overlooking the excavated site, Akrotiri is accessible to wheelchair users.
