 There is a path descending from the first houses of the small city to the parking lot of the excavations of Akrotiri, connecting the old excavation site to the town of Akrotiri.The path was signposted and reopened in September 2012 and now regularly undergoes maintenance, thanks to international volunteers.The local population has been the first supporter of this initiative and in charge of the upkeep of the path, working alongside the volunteers.
