Where have you been impressed with remains from prehistoric days?
We went from the northwestern part of Santorini to the southwest. What started out as a return visit to two of the island's famous beaches, ended up with a longer than expected stop at the Prehistoric Town of Akrotiri.
Although we knew a little about the archeological site, we hadn't really planned on spending the time or money to visit. As it turned out, we arrived on a national holiday, so the entrance fee was waived for the day! Akrotiri is one of the most well preserved prehistoric sites on the Greek isles due to being covered by volcanic ash for so many years.
