Leaving your cruise ship by tender, arrive at the old port of Fira to meet your guide.
Take the cable car up to Fira Town, where you will find your touring vehicle.
Visit the archaeological site of Akrotiri, a Bronze Age, Minoan settlement. Some historians hold this settlement, as well as the disaster that left it unknown to most of history, to be the inspiration of Plato's story of Atlantis, as mentioned in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias. Akrotiri was buried in ash by the massive Theran volcanic eruption in the middle of the second millennium BCE. Like Roman Pompeii, Akrotiri is remarkably well-preserved. Frescoes, pottery, furniture, advanced drainage systems and three-story buildings have been discovered at the site.

Travel Tips
Greece has a warm Mediterranean climate. In summer, dry hot days are often relieved by stiff breezes known as Meltemia, especially in the north and coastal areas. In the summer, Athens can be stiflingly hot, so visitors should allow time to acclimatize. The evenings are cool. Winters are mild in the south but much colder in the north. November to March is the rainy season.
The best time to visit is mid-May to mid-June and mid-September to the end of October.
Late June to September is hot, with low temperatures in the 70’s and highs in the 90’s. Winter months are generally fine for touring, but usually too cold to swim or lie on the beach. Average winter temperatures are a low of 44 and a high of 60. Greece has fairly little rain year-round.
A valid passport is required for entry into Greece. A visa must be obtained from the Greek Consulate if you intend to stay for longer than 3 months. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your arrival into Greece.
Yellow fever certificate is required if you are arriving from an infected area.
Contact health authorities for the latest information.
Cool, loose cotton clothing is recommended for most of the year. In the winter a light coat and sweat shirt is advisable. Sun hat, sunglasses and plenty of fluids help to cope with the heat.
As a member of the EU, Greece’s currency is the Euro. Money can be exchanged at banks and hotels as well as money changers and ATM’s.
The electric current is 220 volts AC. The wall plugs are the round, two pronged European type; bring an adapter if necessary.
