点评:Akrotiri is a remarkable archaeological site that dates back to 5000 BC offering a look at Minoan civilization. The city was buried in ash after a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC which allowed it to remain well preserved. The site is enclosed in a climate-controlled structure and can be toured in 60-90 minutes. It is important to note that all of the important artifacts found during the excavation including the amazing frescoes are on display at the Museum of Prehistoric Thera located in Fira and you can buy a combination ticket that offers admission to both the archaeological site and to the museum. It is easy to reach the site without a car as there is a bus that travels from Fira to here and only costs €2 each way. Get off on the next to last stop right across from the entrance. We purchased tickets at the site upon arriving without any wait. A visit here is well worth it but I can only give it a 4 out of 5 because of the poor signage at the site and the QR codes/audio guide available to your cell phone that did not work very well. Most of this was from the poor signal and Wi-Fi connection at the site. As a result, it was a lot of work trying to understand what we were looking at. It probably would have been better to visit as part of a tour but of course this would add a significant expense and is unnecessary if they would just get their system working properly.
翻译:阿克罗蒂里是一处非凡的考古遗址,其历史可追溯至公元前5000年,展现了米诺斯文明的风貌。公元前16世纪的一次火山爆发后,这座城市被火山灰掩埋,因此得以保存完好。遗址位于一个恒温恒湿的建筑内,参观时间约为60-90分钟。值得一提的是,所有在发掘过程中发现的重要文物,包括精美的壁画,都陈列在位于费拉的史前锡拉博物馆。您可以购买联票,同时参观考古遗址和博物馆。前往遗址非常方便,无需自驾,因为有巴士从费拉直达,单程票价仅为2欧元。在倒数第二站下车,就在入口对面。我们到达后直接在遗址购买了门票,无需排队。这里非常值得一游,但我只能给它四星(满分五星),因为景点的指示牌很差,而且手机上的二维码/语音导览也不太好用。这主要是因为景点的信号和Wi-Fi连接不好。结果,我们费了好大劲才弄明白眼前的一切。或许参加旅行团会更好,但这当然会增加一大笔费用,而且如果他们能把系统修好,这笔费用完全没必要。
