About the Event

A wealth of ancient sites can be found at Akrotiri and we are lucky to have as our guide Frank Haggerty. He is an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Archaeologists and his fascinating talks bring the past to life.

This visit will include a trip to see

· the Greco Roman Lania caves

· the Roman track with graves and tombs and quarry

· uncut millstones still in the cliff tops

· the ancient harbour at Dreamers Bay

These sites are well spread out so we will use four-wheel drive vehicles and share cars so that four or five people go in each - depending on numbers.  The locations are exposed on the cliff tops so bring sunscreen water & mosquito repellent. Sensible footwear is necessary as some tracks are uneven.

Meeting point  Meet at the large open area outside the main gate which is on the left before the pass office.  IMPORTANT! See instructions below for entrance to RAF Akrotiri.

A donation of 5 euro CIWOT Members/ 10 euro Non-members is gratefully received to go to Frank Haggerty’s chosen charity, St Lazarus, which helps people with leprosy. Maximum number on the tour 20

Husbands and adult children are welcome.
