Between Cyprus and Crete?
From the article: "Akrotiri’s strategic hi position between Cyprus and Minoan Crete [...]". Geographically, Santorini is not at all between Cyprus and Crete. From Crete, Santorini is due north, and Cyprus is due east. Anybody know what is meant by this phrase? --Amble (talk) 20:50, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- In bronze age the direct line was not achievable, because it was much longer than a day's distance. So to get from Cyprus to Crete, you needed several stops and Santorini was the most important one. --h-stt !? 16:50, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Prehistoric?
The article title is Akrotiri (prehistoric city). I don't think this time period qualifies as "prehistoric". Recorded history goes back about 6000 years or so. Akrotiri was destroyed about 3600 years ago by the Theran eruption. "Ancient city" would be a better description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.76.24.26 (talk) 16:20, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
