Akrotiri is an archaeological site located on the Greek island of Santorini, near the town of Fira. It is often referred to as the "Minoan Pompeii" due to its well-preserved ruins dating back to the Bronze Age. Akrotiri was a thriving settlement that was buried under volcanic ash following a massive eruption around 1600 BC. The site offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient Minoan civilization, with its intricate frescoes, multi-story buildings, and advanced urban planning.
