Akrotiri
During the early Bronze Age the settlement of Akrotiri was founded and gradually grew over the centuries to become one of the main ports in the Ancient Aegean. The town was abandoned over 3,000 years ago then buried under tons of ash from the catastrophic Minoan eruption – a fate that Pompeii would share a millennium later. Since excavations of this three-hectare site began in 1967, thirty buildings have been uncovered along with a number of well-preserved and richly detailed frescoes.
