Visit Ancient Thera
The Ancient Thera was once a very important city in the area, being built at a height of 360 meters on Mount Messavouno. On the southeast coast of Santorini, Ancient Thira dates from the ninth century BC. The view is marvelous and you can observe the diverse selection of uncovered buildings and admire panoramic views of the caldera and the azure waters of the Aegean Sea. Ancient Thera located 365 m height from sea level on an authentic rocky hill dated before volcanic eruption in 17th century BC.
Ancient Thira, which was built on top of the Mesa Vouno hill by Dorian colonists in the 8th century BC, served from its foundation up to the end of ancient times as the civil, administrative, and religious center of the Thera city-state.
Today, Ancient Thira is open to the public (closed on Mondays) and can be reached on a winding road that starts at Kamari.
