Akrotiri Closed

Planning a winter Greek getaway to the beautiful island of Santorini? If the ancient Minoan site of Akrotiri is on your list of must-sees in Greece, you may want to wait until after February - the ancient site is closed while a new, improved roof is erected over it. Previous visitors know what the old corrugated roof did to the interior on hot summer days - here's hoping the new roof will provide better ventilation as well as better protection for the fascinating ruins that have been called "The Minoan Pompeii".
