The AK Art Gallery in Fira, the oldest gallery on Santorini Island, was founded in 1980 by Christophoros Asimis and Eleni Kolaitou, the foremost artists in the island’s contemporary art history. The historic flour mill was converted into a gallery 35 years ago by the two artists, boosting local contemporary artistic creation. Since its inception, the gallery has been a focal point for the island’s visitors, whether they are art lovers or not.
