Today was a trip to Akrotiri, an archeology site digging up the remnants of the Minoan culture that fled before Santorini blew its top in 1600 BC. The site just re-opened after being closed for 7 years. It was the most extensive archeology site I've ever visited.
Nearby is red beach, so named for the red-rock remnant of the volcano. The red sand is really more brown than red, and hardly the soft sugary beaches of Florida. But it was a distinctive geology lesson. See pictures for more.
Tomorrow we return to Athens to fly home on Monday. Our month of memories is nearly complete.
