One of the most important museums of Greece is the spectacular
Museum of Prehistoric Thera that lies in the capital of Santorini,
Fira. It is housed in a state-of-the-art, two-story building whose erection started in the beginning of the 1970s and it was finally offered to the public in 2000. The proponent of this museum was the standout Greek archeologist, Professor
Spyridon Marinatos, who led the excavation works in the archaeological site of Akrotiri and prompted the creation of a museum in order to house the valuable finds from this major urban center that came to light, where a prominent regional civilization of the prehistoric world used to thrive during the
Minoan Bronze Age.Tickets that were purchased at the Akrotiri Archeological Site on October 6 can be used here, and at the
Ancient Thera Archeological Site, within 3 days of purchase. There are no plans to visit the Ancient Thera Archeological Site as a group, however you are welcome to visit on your own.
