Resize text Saffron gatherer in fresco, Akrotiri, Santorini The island of Santorini boasts one of the most well-preserved archaeological sites of the Greek Bronze Age. It is often described as the “Pompeii of the Aegean” because around 1600 B.C.E., a cataclysmic volcanic eruption engulfed the island in layers of pumice and ash up to 60 yards deep. While knowledge of the ancient community was brought to light in the second half of the 19th century, it was not until 1967 that systematic excavations were begun in earnest. Art historian Renee Gondek offers a deep examination of the ancient site and discusses the colorful frescoes found in many of the preserved structures.
