Akrotiri
Akrotiri is a village on Santorini’s southwestern edge, near a prehistoric archaeological site, a Venetian castle and Red Beach. It rewards a visit focused on the island’s older layers.

Keep exploring Santorini with our travel partners.
The prehistoric settlement gives the name Akrotiri its archaeological weight, while the village and castle show a later chapter of Santorini. Nearby Red Beach adds a visible contrast in volcanic scenery. Treat these as separate stops so the site, village and coast each get the attention they need.
What to look for

Useful to know
Check the archaeological site’s official visiting information before setting out.
Plan the village, excavation and Red Beach as distinct stops rather than one continuous sight.
