Akrotiri
This interesting archaeological site was opened in the late 1960s. Its buildings date back to the 16th century BC. The settlement on the site of the present Akrotiri was an outpost of the Minoan civilization, and it was destroyed naturally by a volcanic eruption (this happened in 1627 BC).
The Museum of Prehistoric Times is on the Air
Once in a paradise of romance and beauty, few people want to wander around museums. The Fira Museum is worth turning around. There are a huge number of archaeological finds from all over the island — in particular, from the incredibly well-preserved Minoan Akrotiri and from neighboring Potamos.
Nea-Kameni
Nea Kameni is a small uninhabited volcanic islet that is located inside the crescent that forms the flooded caldera of Santorini. Nea Kameni and the neighboring tiny island of Palea Kameni have formed over the past couple of millennia.
Church of Panagia Episcopi
This Byzantine church, built according to the inscription on it, was built by order of Emperor Alexios I Komneos at the end of the 11th century on the site of the previous three-nave early Byzantine basilica. Dedicated to the Most Holy Theotokos, the Orthodox Church had diocesan status at first until 1207.
