Akrotiri is the site of a Cycladic Bronze Age settlement on the volcanic Greek island of Santorini. The name comes from the nearby village of Akrotiri. The settlement was destroyed in the Theran eruption sometime in the 16th century BCE and buried in volcanic ash, which preserved the remains of fine frescoes and many objects and artworks. Akrotiri has been excavated since 1967 after earlier excavations on Santorini.

The area of Chorafakia is a modern-day suburb of Chania that is located a mere 15-minute drive away from the center of the city. It is serene, mostly rural area of unspoiled nature, graced with villas and old traditional houses that have been transformed into tourist residences.
Very close to the beaches of Tersanas Kalathas, Stavros the suburb has retained many elements from the time it was still a small village outside the city, with most amenities like markets etc. at arm's reach
A great area for anyone looking for a home in Chania
