Santorini: Ticket For Akrotiri Archaeological Site

Audio guide is a complete waste of money. Do not get it. The site has their own free app you can use that isn’t difficult to use whereas this is complicated and can be a lot of hassle. Our guide didn’t even work so was a complete waste. The actual site isn’t that big, shaded which is good but was not inside. A lot of information but would have been better with videos showing us live action how those spaces would have been used as the info pretty much repeats its self across the whole site without deeper context in my view. It’s also cheaper to buy there and going in August it wasn’t packed at all.

This was an amazing exhibit/site. Really cool how they are digging out this lost city with so much history. I would recommend to bring headphones if you are doing the self guided tour to not disturb others.

Amazing! It was very well presented and interesting. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Akrotirii.

A wonderful visit in an impressive building. The entire thing is under cover which is impressive and a lovely break out of the sun. Easy to get to by public bus from Fira. Lots of information and opportunity to read, we didn't have an audio guide but I would recommend getting one to get more from your visit

Incredible museum, was not expecting to walk through a full town. The place is very large with well placed seating and information cards in English and Greek to guide you through some of the key areas of the town. Would recommend going to the Prehistoric Museum in Fria as many finds from this town are displayed there

Four of us visiting. At 20 EUR per person hard to swallow. Even harder to justify when inside and finding it impossible to connect to their WiFi! Once you have accepted the rip-off, you discover that the most interesting section (through the village) is cordoned off allegedly due to staff shortage. Enough said…

Akrotiri site great but don’t waste your money on this tour - its awful - you download an app with a voice that is generated by AI and we gave up on it after about 5 minutes. Just buy your ticket when you get there!

The self-guided audiotape did not coincide with the pathways in akrotiri. Several paths were roped off, so it rendered the audiotape useless. At least I was able to download the self-guided tour, unlike some other tours we took. :) I listened to it outside of the site just for more info. it was easier to just read the signage by each section. The site was great, but could have just bought bus tickets and entrance fees ourselves for less money.

We followed the audio tour, which I paid extra for, and many of the descriptions were impossible to find. We wandered around in circles looking for the artifacts and artwork with no success. I finally inquired at the desk and learned that after the earthquake several months ago, many of the pieces were moved to museums for sake-keeping. Update your materials!!

It was really interesting and educational. I like learning an how people from the past lived. My whole family really enjoyed our time walking around here.

We loved the amazing history and videos showing how they were build and what they looked like, Just beautiful. we love and appreciated it so much! Thank you!

Dont bother buying this audio tour, the tickets worked but the audio tour was terrible and didnt work. It was clearly a ai voice over with about 7 sections each 2 minutes long. The tour used your location to play a section when you got to each area but it didnt work on both my android and my partners iphone. Dont waste your money and buy the tickets on the day

Unforgettable experience. After visiting Pompeii and then experiencing this trading village which existed even 3,000 years before gives one an interesting insight on the early days of Greek civilization. It is a must see.

LOVE this location. Fantastic. Brought a friend for the first time and her response when we walked in was 'WOW' Would recommend an audio tour to get the full understanding of this location

Nice place, enjoyed a lot. Recommend many times. 👌 we learning about the history. I was a nice experience. We have to be there in the future again.

If you like history and old things, this is a good experience. The audio tour is ok, a bit picky and the instructions for the tour need to be sent sooner as we had no wi-if to download the tour on our cruise.

The excavation site was impressive. The timing of visit was perfect. The visit to lighthouse provided great views.

Tickets at the location are 3x less money than using this website. The audio guide is a joke and not worth the cost.

The audio tour application does not work and is very confusing. You are far better off buying your tickets at the museum and opting for the human guided tour. We just stopped using the audio guide app.

Wonderful people and easy bus ride from town. Do the museum in town too. Tickets are a good value to get ahead of time so you know when you can go in and not have to wait

Learning about the history. It was a very informative experience. The ticket price was fair and the staff were friendly

One of the best archaeological sites I have ever seen. Even our teenager said it was one of her favorite parts about visiting Santorini. It is a must see for anyone interested in Greek history. (The National Museum in Athens has a room dedicated to the artifacts found at Akrotiri.)

This was a tremendous site. The ruins are amazing. The civilization that built this city was advanced and had amenities not seen again until the Roman Era 1500 Years later including: Indoor sewage and plumbing that drained away from the dwelling, rooftop gardens , large windows, and doors that opened directly onto the street, indicating a safe environment and many others. This is well worth a visit.

We requested a guide when we arrived at the site and were very happy to have the finds explained to us. Santorini is not just an island with beaches and shopping, there is a lot of history to the island and this site explains it all.

Too expensive for this visit. No flyer to explain and visualize the site: a QR Code but no network... only the technical installation to protect the ruins is impressive...
