Akrotiri is older than Pompeii!
Ancient Akrotiri is much, much older than Pompeii. Ash and pumice from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried and destroyed Pompeii in 79AD. Ancient Akrotiri was settled sometime between 5000 – 3000 BC and was a thriving agricultural center where grains and olive oil were cultivated by around 2000 BC.
