We visited the Akrotiri Archaeological Excavation Site in December. We had a hard time locating the entrance (we went there on our own) as the signage for this place was so small that we missed it … Full review by michaelt238874Y

These ruins are covered to help preservation. This was my lesat favourite site in all the sites I have seen in Greece. It felt a little rushed and I like sites that you can explore. I think they a… Full review by JennC1212

I just went by myself, but there are plenty of guided tours. Plus on the day I went, there were two guides waiting near the map right where you enter (after you pay). They will collect people, collect about €15 or so, and give a tour.
Hi, can anyone tell me how long the tour is or how much time to allow for here please
A:
Hi. It took us a good hour with our guide, who was extremely knowledgeable about everything there. Without a guide it would take a lot less but there is plenty to walk around and see.
To go to the archaeological site, which is the best bus stop to get off at Akrotiri - the beach or the village?
A:
The Public bus system will drop you off near the entrance to Akrotir If you miss that stop for some reason, don’t worry, the last stop is at the beach is just a few blocks down the hill.
Is Akrotiri open on Friday 31st July. Not sure if the opening times have changed because of Covid. Thanks

I agree. I'm in the USA and visited Akrotiri 5 months ago so well before the pandemic affected all of us. I'm sure the site itself will have current information and expectations for visitors. …
