SANTORINI AKROTIRI ARCHAEOLOGICAL PICTURE 3

santorini akrotiri village
The tremendous volcanic explosion towards the middle of the 17th century B.C., together with its consequences that affected the entire Mediterranean, suddenly broke the course of life for the people of Thira as it completely buried the island under a thick layer of volcanic deposits. However, it was thanks to this explosion that a final snapshot of the advanced course of a four thousand year old unique civilisation was preserved.
