Ancient Akrotiri is an archaeological site in the southern part of Santorini. The ruins are thought to be a Minoan city which was buried by volcanic ash in 1613 BC. The museum is open every day from 8 am to 8 pm in the summer (4/1 to 10/31) and 8 am to 3 pm from 11/1 to 3/31. In the winter it is closed on Mondays. Admission to the site is €5. There is a parking lot near the museum for €3 but there is also free parking on the street.
A building covers the ruins.
Excavated buildings.
It's hard to believe these buildings are 3500 years old.
Pottery inside the buildings.
More rooms with pottery.
Ancient toilet.
Only 40 buildings have been uncovered and it is thought this represents just 1/3 of the ancient city. Some believe Akrotiri is the lost city of Atlantis.
