Main Sights in Greek Islands, Greece

Akrotiri (Santorini)

The "Pompeii" of the Greek Islands. Akrotiri is the tiny prehistoric cycladic settlement that was buried under ashes when the volcano of Thera erupted. The inhabitants seem to have had ample time to evacuate the island since no bodies were found during excavations. The town and the buildings themselves have been preserved in good condition under the volcanic ash, and offer a rare glimpse into the life and culture of the Cycladic civilization.


Vergina (Crete)

This unique archeological site / museum is well worth a visit to experience Macedonian culture.
