A Deep Dive into Santorini’s Geological Evolution
Santorini’s own volcanic history is intricately tied to the legend of Atlantis.

Through informative displays and thought-provoking exhibits, visitors can learn about the culture, art, and technology of the Minoans and explore their potential link to the lost city.
Additionally, the museum delves into the philosophy of Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher who first introduced the tale of Atlantis in his writings.
