The village of Akrotiri is among the more quiet and sparsely populated areas of Santorini, located on the southwest coast of the island.
Akrotiri means “cape” and the area is indeed a geological outcropping, offering amazing views of Greece. It’s famous for its lighthouse, from which are some of the country’s best sunset views.
Visit La Ponta, the Castle of Akrotiri and its 13th century tower. Tour the Akrotiri archeological site to see artifacts, furniture and even buildings from the Aegean Bronze Age. Enjoy a trip to Red Beach, surrounded by red cliffs, red beach stones, and red rock outcroppings in the water.
