Ancient Thera

The site was built around the 19th century BC, when a tribe first came to the Holy Island and built their residence there, the tribal leader called Ferra. It is said that the site was still inhabited until the Byzantine era.

The site of Santorinigusila was destroyed by a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago. Archaeologists found that only a few tourists, except us, had a ticket of 2 euros per person.

Gufeila Site is located on a hill between the Kamali and Berry beaches. It starts from Kamali and travels up the road. It is said that the site was still inhabited until Byzantine times. It's worth going.

Gufeila site, do not understand the lively look. It's convenient to take a bus to Perissa Beach next to ANCIENT THIRA Gufeila Site. You can stand on the hill and enjoy the endless scenery by the sea.

There is a sense of history, once a tribe lived in a place, the road is not easy to walk, but here to see the former residence, it is still very worthwhile. There are not many people on this side, which may be the reason of geographical location.

The largest square in the center of the site is triangular. The houses along the street and around the square are two or three-storey buildings. The houses near the triangular square are magnificent and may be the main stores and official offices. Many houses have exquisite murals, the artistic style is similar to the Minos palace murals of Crete, but the theme is mainly about fishermen's life, navigation and business. The best works are the pictures of fishermen and teenagers in the buildings on the west side of the triangular square, the pictures of coastal scenery and naval battles, the fights among teenagers in other houses, the pictures of spring ladies and antelopes, etc. And see a small amount of painted pottery. The scarcity of precious goods and craft treasures may be related to the rapid migration of residents in the early stage of the volcanic eruption.
