Thing and informative. Our guide was very knowledgeable and it was remarkable the facilities that were available 6,000 years ago.

Here was our timeline: picked up at our hotel at 11:00, bus got to main pickup location at 11:30, after picking up more people we got to Akrotiri at 12:15, and stayed until 1:30. We then got back to our hotel in a reasonable amount of time after that. I’d say the travel time, especially there, was longer than we anticipated. The bus guide was very nice but it did seem like she was handling a lot of people’s different pickup and drop offs, which was the main drag on the tour progress. Our guide at Akrotiri, Penny, was great and we had a good amount of time to explore afterward.

I was told where to go to be picked up for this tour. I waited over an hour and no one showed up. When I called the company, they said that the driver stopped at my location, but I wasn’t there, which is FALSE. He came back to pick me up and at this point I had waited an hour and 15 minutes. I did get to go to the excavation site, however, my tour ended up only lasting 50 minutes. This was a rip off. I did not get my moneys worth at all.
