Santorini, Greece
Ruins of homes, buildings and ceramic barrels fill the site of Akrotiri, a 3,600 year-old Minoan archaeologic site on the Greek island of Santorini. The town and its objects of daily life were buried and preserved by volcanic ash from a massive eruption of the volcano on Santorini. No trace of human remains have been found, leaving their fate a mystery. Photo by Doug Oakley, fall 2017

Athens
All that remains of the entrance, or the Propylaea of the Athenian Acropolis, in Athens, Greece are majestic columns and some rooftop pieces, but the surviving columns help to envision how the original structure was built around 450 BC. The gateway was commissioned by Pericles at the end of the Persian Wars. Photo by Doug Oakley, fall 2017.
