I do love listening to you two tell the story. It's so enjoyable.

Akrotiri is a stunning place. The buildings are elegant, the artwork is very sophisticated. I can imagine that they lived very nicely. When I was there, I had the sense that humanity hasn't made that much real progress in the last 4, 000 years. In fact, I wish we could get back to living like they did in Akrotiri.

Those antelopes are gorgeous - they immediately drew me in. I loved the birds as well. There seems to be something about line-based figures that I enjoy. 🙂

I've been to Akrotiri. It was an amazing place, and there's a museum in town that had some stunning stuff. The local dogs are also very friendly!

This is my favorite painting from antiquity, Hands down! It gives me the sense of the late spring semi-drought, in the wilderness or, at least, outside the cultivated fields. I Can hear the swallows catching flies and flying low between the rocks and the lilies. This landscape misses just the Aegean sea and then I could call it - seriously speaking - sublime art!

santorini is so beautiful. Visiting it was bittersweet as many areas were closed for conservation, yet overall effect of the island as a whole was awe inspiring

I visited Santorini in 1998 and toured Akrotiri- awesome place

There's something rather psychedelic about the colours and shapes of the terrain on the spring fresco.

this a very good video for the Archeological site of Akrotiri on Santorini, this place is a unique covered museum and to imagine the size is an entire city dating back at least 3000 years ago
