Akrotiri is one of the most picturesque villages of Santorini, known all over the world for the great archaeological discovery of a prehistoric settlement, which can be visited today at the homonymous archaeological site. The modern village is built at the southern end of the island, very close to one of the most famous beaches of Santorini, the Red Beach.
Akrotiri can be reached through a beautiful route with an excellent view of the wonderful volcanic scenery of Santorini. The village itself, traditionally built around the old castle, does not disappoint its visitors. The small, whitewashed Cycladic houses with their tidy yards and shining roofs, and the colored domes of the churches are a great backdrop for a walk through the narrow streets and allows the visitor to get a great taste of authentic Santorini life.
Apart from the Red Beach you can also visit Mesa Pigadia and White Beach, which are all in very close distance from the estate.
