Akrotiri Archaeological SiteUncover the myths and history of Santorini on a 5-hour guided tour of the Akrotiri excavations, a prehistoric Bronze Age city. During the Minoan volcanic eruption some 3,600 years ago, the city was frozen in time by ash that fell. Some speculate that this is the origin of Atlantis, a mythical town lost in time. Admire the elaborate drainage system, the sophisticated multi-storied buildings, magnificent wall paintings, excavated furniture, and vessels that show the former settlement’s great prosperity. Discover evidence of winemaking that has been estimated to date back to the 3rd Millennium BC, making Santorini one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world. Continue your wine discovery by strolling through the island’s basket vines at three wineries and learn about Santorini’s unique viticulture traditions. Taste a selection of 12 different wine styles from across Santorini and Greece, such as Assyrtiko, Nykteri, and the sublimely sweet Vinsanto wine.
