These ruins were buried by the eruption of the Thera volcano and later abandoned after a devastating earthquake. Excavations are still ongoing, and with each discovery, more of this ancient jewel is revealed. Walking through the site, I could almost imagine myself living within the walls of its rich history. It’s truly a cultural must-see!

This is a truly impressive and unique site. It was once a highly sophisticated village for its time, featuring even toilet seats and an advanced plumbing system. The settlement was completely buried under volcanic ash after the eruption around 2000 BC, yet no human remains were ever found. You can hire a guide at the entrance to learn more about its fascinating history. There’s also a nice kiosk and café on site.

Oh wow!! I was totally amazed at this awesome historic place. Our tour guide showed us a indoor toilet from over 5,000 years ago. Shocking, mind blowing and amazing to see. They understand it to be The Lost City of Atlantis! The pottery and the layers of volcanic ash is over 3 stories deep and archaeologists are working with small instruments including toothbrushes not to harm anything they've only unearthed 5% so far. I'll have to return in about 10 years to see if they have uncovered more and found even more items from 3800 BC. 😲❤️
