Akrotiri

The excavation of Akrotiri, Thera, under the directorship originally of the late Professor Spyridon Marinatos, and since his untimely death in 1974 that of Professor Christos Doumas, has been from its outset in 1967 under the sponsorhship of the Archaeological Society in Athens. This Bronze Age city, which flourished thirty-six centuries ago, has produced a wealth of material, foremost amongst which are the artistically superb wall-paintings.
