Akrotiri is a name used both for the village in the southwestern part of the island, as well as the archaeological site that was discovered nearby. As we haven’t yet discovered the name the prehistoric inhabitants gave their main urban center, the name of the modern village was used for the prehistoric settlement too.
The pin Prehistoric Town of Akrotiri, in the map below, is the exact location of the main entrance of the archaeological site (ticket booth). The pins Akrotiri and Archaeological Site of Akrotiri that exist in Google Maps (map below) refer also to the archaeological site which you can reach through the main entrance (pin 1).
