Anyone Have an Update on Akrotiri's status in Santorini
Hi:
I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not the Akrotiri site in Santorini had yet re-opened or if there were any plans that have been published. The last posts date back to May of last year saying it was likely closed for 2006. We will be there in May.
Thanks
Dave

I read somewhere recently (don't remember where) that it was going to be reopened sometime in 2007 but there was no exact date. From what I've observed about "Greek Time" I advise you to have hope but don't make plans based on the construction being finished.

Topping this... I'm going to be in Santorini for May 2007 as well and I'd love to see Akrotiri and I was hoping that the renovations (or at least part of it) would be completed by then.
*fingers crossed*

Thanks Brotherleelove. We'll all keep our fingers crossed. The bright side - if it isn't open again we'll just have to include Santorini on our list again some day. (Like that would be such a hardship!)
and...
"I'll let you know tomorrow"...
I liked that one. I wish, most days, that I could live my life on Greek time!

I received this email today:
"Unfortunately, we cannot predict when the site at Akrotiri, Santorini, will open again for the public.
Best regards,
Christos Doumas
Director of the Excavation"
