I had the amazing opportunity to visit Akrotiri last year! No words can explain how amazing it was/is and I was in complete aww of it. Walking through it and walking where people did thousands of years ago, is such an amazing opportunity. I’d definitely go back!

Awesome! Been to Santorini but missed the site. It was closed the day we went. It is our sad luck!

Thank you for sharing this! My knowledge of history is very limited. I only ever knew about Pompeii and Herculaneum.

This video is excellent. I visited Akrotiri and Archeological museum at Fira twice, I can tell that this video is very informative. You can see some frescoes from Akrotiri in National Archeological Museum in Athen. I love paintings of beautiful ladies in the museum in Fira.

Wow, I literally done this today on my holiday to Santorini and this explains a lot, thank you

This is SO COOL! I hope we're able to uncover more of Akrotiri. When I was in elementary school, I read about the Minoans and the island of Thera. I had no idea of how much was uncovered or even what happened after the initial Minonan-age eruption. Very interesting.

Dear Victoria, I m very fond of your lectures about Akrothiri and I m waiting for new videos and much more information about this site and, possibly, about Minoan excavations on Crete as well.
Please, tell me you are preparing new material for us to see.
Anyway, Keep on with your great work, which I m gratefully watching, and I wish you grow in knowledge, influence, and recognition.
PS: your videos were a great way to spent time during the quarantine. Never paranoic when I was listening to you!

The settlement was one of the most important urban centers and ports of the Aegean during the Middle and Late Bronze Age (20th-17th BC). It was a populous city of 200 acres with an admirable social organization, public roads, a sewage system, sanitary facilities and multi-storey buildings. London had a sewage system in the 19th century AD

I have been to Santorini 3 times, but didn't have time to see this 😳 public buses are too slow. Seems like i need to visit again

[HowardBeale]

Great ruins, thanks for the video. oh and of course Plato gave a specific year for his Atlantis tale, about 11k years ago.

Akrotiri was probably a small town on the islands. There was probably a much larger city inside the bay that was completely destroyed.
