Overview

Discover the remains of a prehistoric city, that remained buried for almost 4000 years. It gives us unique and valuable information about the art, the architecture, and everyday life back in 2000 BC. Walking within a 4000 year old perfectly preserved settlement, getting to understand how the society was organized and how people lived their lives, seeing the paved streets and the remains of large 2-3 story building complexes, kitchen and toilette facilities, unique wall paintings and a perfect drainage-sewage system, is an experience surely not to be missed!

Akrotiri Archaeological Site

Discover the prehistoric city of Akrotiri through a fun and engaging family friendly treasure hunt, specially designed for children and their parents. On this private tour, kids become junior archaeologists, solving simple missions, spotting clues, and uncovering how people lived in one of the most advanced civilizations of the ancient world. Through play, observation, and storytelling, the archaeological site comes to life . While children enjoy the interactive treasure hunt, parents benefit from a guided visit, learning about Akrotiri’s architecture, technology, daily life, and the dramatic volcanic eruption that preserved the city for thousands of years. The experience is relaxed, and flexible to the family’s rhythm, making it ideal for children aged 5–12. At the end of the tour, young explorers receive a small reward for completing their mission.This is not just a visit to an archaeological site — it’s a shared family experience where learning feels like an adventure.
