==Geography and environment==
Akrotiri is a rocky promontory〔S.T.Williamson, 1933〕 on the northern side of the island of Crete, in the Sea of Crete. It is roughly circular in shape, connected to the rest of the island by a wide causeway between Chania and the town of Souda. To the south, Souda Bay is found between the peninsula and the island. Most of the peninsula is a plateau somewhat elevated from the sea. There is a string of hills along the northern coast. A variety of flora occur on the rocky promontory of Akrotiri including the herb ''Taraxacum minimum''.〔A.Strid, 1996〕
