Description:

These convenient transfers to and from Kamari Village to the Akrotiri archaeological site offer you a unique opportunity to explore the on-going excavations. Your tour is completely self-guided once you are the site, so you can explore aspects of the island's ancient history on your own time.

The excavations at Akrotiri have uncovered one of the most important prehistoric settlements of the Aegean. The first habitation at the site dates from the Late Neolithic Era (at least the 4th millennium BC).

Akrotiri was buried by the widespread Theran eruption in the second millennium BC. Like the Roman ruins of Pompeii after it, it is notably well-preserved. Frescoes, pottery, furniture, 3-story buildings, and advanced drain systems have all been exploreed at Akrotiri.

This transfer is ideal if you want to go to Akrotiri without taking the overcrowded public buses or paying the high cost of taxis. You can even take an excursion that lasts the whole day. The transfer is roundtrip, so there's no hassle involved.
