Audio guide is a complete...

Renae_T, Aug 2026

Audio guide is a complete waste of money. Do not get it. The site has their own free app you can use that isn’t difficult to use whereas this is complicated and can be a lot of hassle. Our guide didn’t even work so was a complete waste. The actual site isn’t that big, shaded which is good but was not inside. A lot of information but would have been better with videos showing us live action how those spaces would have been used as the info pretty much repeats its self across the whole site without deeper context in my view. It’s also cheaper to buy there and going in August it wasn’t packed at all.

Must see in Santorini

This was an amazing exhibit/site. Really cool how they are digging out this lost city with so much history. I would recommend to bring headphones if you are doing the self guided tour to not disturb others.

Excellent

Lorene_H, Oct 2025

Amazing! It was very well presented and interesting. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Akrotirii.

Lovely place to visit- wont take the whole day, situated next to a beautiful beach

A wonderful visit in an impressive building. The entire thing is under cover which is impressive and a lovely break out of the sun. Easy to get to by public bus from Fira. Lots of information and opportunity to read, we didn't have an audio guide but I would recommend getting one to get more from your visit

An amazing walk through history

Alex_L, Sep 2025

Incredible museum, was not expecting to walk through a full town. The place is very large with well placed seating and information cards in English and Greek to guide you through some of the key areas of the town. Would recommend going to the Prehistoric Museum in Fria as many finds from this town are displayed there

The self-guided audiotape...

Marian_B, Jun 2025

The self-guided audiotape did not coincide with the pathways in akrotiri. Several paths were roped off, so it rendered the audiotape useless. At least I was able to download the self-guided tour, unlike some other tours we took. :) I listened to it outside of the site just for more info. it was easier to just read the signage by each section. The site was great, but could have just bought bus tickets and entrance fees ourselves for less money.

Excellent guide and service.

The excavation site was impressive. The timing of visit was perfect. The visit to lighthouse provided great views.

Viator overcharges customers

Laura_M, Jun 2024

Tickets at the location are 3x less money than using this website. The audio guide is a joke and not worth the cost.

Easy tour, get a guide if you want the details of the site

George_D, May 2024

Wonderful people and easy bus ride from town. Do the museum in town too. Tickets are a good value to get ahead of time so you know when you can go in and not have to wait

Santorini

Ambar_P, Sep 2023

We requested a guide when we arrived at the site and were very happy to have the finds explained to us. Santorini is not just an island with beaches and shopping, there is a lot of history to the island and this site explains it all.
