I was really looking forward to this but unfortunately found it an anti climax at the end of my expensive cab ride (buses were too packed to be reliable and I was on a time limit for airport) perhaps if I’d done a tour it would have been better but I went solo and early (8am) to beat the sun and crowds and like exploring at my own pace. i recommend it as a good time to visit before the tour buses arrive. I support the incredible history etc so have no problem paying for the ticket /supporting the site but I just think the signage and experience was a bit tired and lazy. There is one short but helpful video reconstruction at the end, but given how remarkable /unique this ancient this site is I hoped for / expected more exciting /colourful /fascinating descriptions to really bring it alive. it was a bit lame and I was out within 40 mins. I have heard the Audio is dated as well. I think the site would benefit from visuals /info to really bring this incredible site alive for all.

We had a great time visiting the Akrotiri site. Don't forget the prehistoric museum of Santorini. This is where the discovered treasures are displayed. A single ticket for the 2 visits would be welcome Thanks again to Chara our wonderful guide for his competence and his enthusiasm.

I arrived as the gates opened so had the place to myself for 45 minutes before three tour buses arrived. I wad therefore able to ask the staff questions and read all the displays with ease. My review may have been different if I was wandering around with the masses of tourists :)
