Message from Irene Pila

Akrotiri in Santorini is like the Greek version of Pompeii, but with a Minoan twist. This ancient port town was buried under volcanic ash around 4,000 years ago, preserving its multi-story buildings, fancy wall paintings, and imported treasures. You can stroll along walkways above the excavated ruins and even see a charred bed and cool frescoes in Athens. Getting there is easy by car, bus, or guided tour, so don't miss out on this fascinating archaeological site!
