Take in the marvels of Santorini on a day of discovery which begins at the ancient site of Akrotiri. Unveiled in 1967 after being shrouded for over 3,000 years, Akrotiri is remarkably preserved and offers great insight into the island's ancient history. Your knowledgeable guide will escort you through this unearthed city, considered one of the most important prehistoric settlements in the Mediterranean. After exploring these fascinating ruins, revel in the magnificent views from atop Mt. Prophet Elijah, 2,000 feet above sea level. Then, visit Fira, the island's largest town. Here, narrow cobblestone lanes lead uphill past whitewashed homes, outdoor cafés and marvelous little shops that just beg to be explored. A steep walk to the upper portion of town leads you to the aerial cable car ride, your transportation (ticket provided) to port to meet your tender if you choose to remain in town to explore independently.
