Ancient Thera is an archaeological site located in the village of Perissa on the Greek island of Santorini. The site is situated on a hilltop overlooking the Aegean Sea and offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The ancient city of Thera was founded in the 9th century BC and was inhabited until the 7th century AD. The city was built on a steep slope and was divided into three districts: the Agora, the residential area, and the sanctuaries.
The Agora was the central marketplace of the city and was surrounded by public buildings, including a theater, a gymnasium, and a temple. The residential area was located on the lower slopes of the hill and consisted of houses, shops, and workshops. The sanctuaries were located on the upper slopes of the hill and were dedicated to various gods and goddesses, including Apollo, Artemis, and Dionysus.
The city was destroyed by a series of earthquakes in the 2nd century AD and was abandoned shortly thereafter. The site was rediscovered in the 19th century and has since been excavated by archaeologists. Visitors to Ancient Thera can explore the ruins of the city, including the remains of the Agora, the residential area, and the sanctuaries. The site also features a museum that displays artifacts found during the excavations, including pottery, jewelry, and sculptures.
Visitors to Ancient Thera should be prepared for a steep climb to reach the site, as it is located on a hilltop. However, the stunning views and fascinating history make the climb well worth it. The site is open to visitors year-round, although hours may vary depending on the season. Guided tours are available for those who want to learn more about the history of the city and its inhabitants. Overall, Ancient Thera is a must-see destination for anyone interested in ancient history and archaeology.
