Akrotiri Facts photo copyrighted by: Galen R. Frysinger The town's life came to an abrupt end in the last quarter of the 17th century
B.C. when the inhabitants were obliged to abandon it as a result of severe
earthquakes.
Since the beginning of excavations, the Akrotiri site has provided the world
with a fascinating look at urban life in the Minoan period.
