While in Santorini, visitors have the unique opportunity to admire two of the treasures of Ancient Greece: the Prehistoric Settlement of Akrotiri and Ancient Thira. The first is a well-preserved settlement, with houses, stairs, storage rooms, an ancient sewage system and pythi, all of which were covered in ash and lave for thousands of years. Some scholars believe that Akrotiri is connected to the legend of the Lost Continent of Atlantis. The second site is the City of Ancient Thira, where ruins of sanctuaries, a stoa, a theatre, a gymnasium and other structures are preserved. The city is located on a hill providing a magnificent panoramic view of the island. In Fira and Oia, there are marvellous museums and churches, while in the inland villages, one can visit the wineries and take a wine tasting tour. Opposite the island are three small volcanic isles, where visitors can swim in hot springs. What more could one want while on vacation in Santorini Greece?
