Ruins of Akrotiri are located on the southern tip of the island and are extremely well preserved because of the volcanic ash. This is still a live site with excavations still occurring. The perfectly preserved houses date back to as far as 16th century B.C. The Santorini Volcano is the most popular tourist attraction on the island. The volcano erupted in 1500 B.C. and is considered to be one of the largest eruptions in thousands of years.
