Santorini · AKROTIRI RUINS TOURS
A Bronze Age town under a modern roof: two-storey houses, drains, frescoes, and not a single body found. These 12 visits differ on whether you get a guide or an audio handset, how long you are inside, and what else the day picks up on the way — the Red Beach is ten minutes down the road.
Walk through the Bronze Age ruins of Akrotiri with an entry ticket and a downloadable audio guide, plus offline maps for a self-paced visit.
“Used audio guide which was informative but I found it difficult to be in right place for description. Well worth visit though and building is awesome.”
A 7-hour Santorini bus day to Prophet Elias, Megalochori, Akrotiri ruins, and Red plus black-sand beaches, with an extra 20€ site fee.
“We had a lovely time seeing all the sights and the guide was very friendly. The tour guide at Akrotiri was very knowledgable and we found it very interesting. The only thing we found a bit odd were the transfers to the activity. We were collected from Perissa and left in Pyrgos to wait 30 minutes for the main transfer bus. Otherwise the experience was excellent!”

“This is a terrible tour. The place is great so i suggest you do it on your own. We booked a guide and the guide did not show up!!! We are the ones scrambling to find her. We managed to but we are already in the middle of the tour - makes no sense to join but we joined anyway. It is just the worst expereince. Tour guides are not friendly!!!”

He went above and beyond to make the tour memorable, showing us so much more than is listed. For anyone wanting to see the real 'Thira' away from the bustling tourist areas, this is a great option.”
