The present-day crescent shape of the island of Santorini is a consequence of the activity of the volcano in prehistoric times. The last huge eruption of the volcano dates back 3,600 years to the late Bronze Age. Pumice deposits dozens of meters thick, buried the ancient city at Akrotiri, one of the most prosperous settlements of the period, giving rise to the myth of the lost Atlantis.

The ancient city at Akrotiri is the most important archaeological site on the island, thanks to its excellent state of preservation and the wealth of findings. It is one of the most important prehistoric settlements found anywhere in the Eastern Mediterranean.
