Description

Plato’s lost continent of Atlantis may have referred to this Bronze Age Minoan city; it was destroyed possibly by the massive explosion of the volcano on the island of Santorini around 1500 B.C. What’s left are restored ruins, including the so-called Palace of Minos, with finely detailed frescoes depicting dolphins, fish, and griffins as well as people walking past flowers.
