Akrotiri
Akrotiri is a Late Bronze Age Cycladic settlement on Santorini buried and preserved beneath volcanic ash after the Theran eruption. Excavations have revealed a compact, multi-storey town with paved streets, an extensive drainage system, richly painted interior frescoes and numerous domestic and workshop spaces.

Partial ruin
As it stood in 1600 BC
The shape it held in its prime.
A dense cluster of whitewashed, plaster-coated stone buildings rising up in two to three storeys with flat roofs, terraces and narrow paved streets threaded with open drainage channels. Interiors preserved with plastered walls bearing large mineral-pigment frescoes in white, red, blue, yellow and brown; storage jars, benches and workshop fittings are visible. The settlement sits on a volcanic slope above the sea; building volumes survive as excavated foundations and standing wall sections with fresco fragments and plaster surfaces.
