点评:The archaeological site of Ancient Thera perched high on a mountain overlooking the ocean is a fascinating place. It dates back to at least the 9th century BC and became of significant importance in the 3rd century BC when the Ptolemaic wartime fleet for the entire Aegean Sea was stationed in the city's harbor. The ruins are in surprisingly good condition. Highlights include the ruins of the Agora and Stoa, the theater, several temples and sanctuaries, a guard house, a Roman bath and a gymnasium. Plus, the views of the surrounding sea and the adjacent beach towns of Kamari and Perissa are incredible. An audioguide would have made the visit even better but there is signage along the walking route in both Greek and English explaining what is being seen. It is well worth the €10 admission charge, and I enjoyed visiting here more than Akrotiri because of the impressive natural setting. It was not busy with a dozen other tourists wandering about when I was here in early May. The site can be reached by car from Kamari after negotiating numerous switchbacks but there is limited parking. However, visiting also makes for a great hike. I began in Kamari and made the moderately strenuous climb up the paved switchbacks to the site. After visiting the site, I hiked down the unpaved and rugged trail to Perissa Beach. It was a total of 4 miles including visiting the archaeological site and I spent 3 hours total on the hike. This one-way hike is easy to do as you can catch a bus to Kamari from Fira and then catch a different bus from Perissa to get back to Fira.
翻译:坐落在俯瞰大海的山顶上的古锡拉遗址令人着迷。它的历史至少可以追溯到公元前9世纪,并在公元前3世纪变得举足轻重,当时托勒密王朝的整个爱琴海战舰队驻扎于此。遗址保存得相当完好。亮点包括集市和柱廊的遗址、剧院、几座神庙和圣所、警卫室、罗马浴场和体育馆。此外,周围大海以及邻近的卡马里和佩里萨海滨小镇的景色也令人叹为观止。如果能有语音导览,参观体验会更好,不过沿途的步行路线设有希腊语和英语的指示牌,解释沿途的景点。10欧元的门票物有所值,而且由于其令人印象深刻的自然环境,我更喜欢这里而不是阿克罗蒂里。五月初我来的时候,这里游客不多,只有十几位游客在闲逛。从卡马里 (Kamari) 开车经过许多之字形弯道即可到达遗址,但停车位有限。不过,徒步旅行也是不错的选择。我从卡马里出发,沿着铺设好的之字形公路攀登,虽然难度适中,但最终到达了遗址。参观完遗址后,我沿着崎岖不平的土路徒步下山,到达了佩里萨海滩 (Perissa Beach)。全程共 4 英里(约 6.4 公里),包括参观考古遗址在内,我总共花了 3 个小时。这条单程徒步路线非常方便,您可以从费拉 (Fira) 搭乘巴士前往卡马里,然后再从佩里萨换乘另一辆巴士返回费拉。
