Another item that came up repeatedly while we were researching what to do in Santorini was the ruins of the bronze age city of Akrotiri. We drove down to check it out the morning of the wedding. We really ended up enjoying seeing this place. The excavation area is quite large, and much of it is very well preserved. Seeing all the details of these really impressive houses from 3500 years ago was really eye opening. I have no idea how they were able to build such structures without even having iron tools. In the end we spent a couple of hours touring the site.
