Santorini – Greece, is one of the most recognized and photographed places on earth. However, arriving at the caldera via water, either by ferry, cruise ship, or private boat, will leave the traveler with only a few options to reach the charming villages on the crater’s top lip. From the port of Fira, the first option is to embark on the cable car, a short voyage to the top that takes less than ten minutes and costs 6 euros; the problem here is that with many cruise ships and other embarkations in port, every day, the queues for the cable car can take more than two hours. With the second and third options, we can climb the steep and sinuous steps that lead to the top either by foot or Donkey. The donkeys are very popular with tourists and cost 10 euros each way (Up or Down). I didn’t consider this option…firstly because the 15-minute ride can be a bit scary, especially if we think about the erratic nature of the animals running lose so close to the precipice border, and also because I felt sorry for the poor animals, that were cleared worked out, spending the day caring tourists up and down without having any food or rest. As I could also use the workout myself, I decided to climb and endure the 30-minute walk uphill to Fira, and in this short video, I share my “short of breath” but totally worthwhile experience. Lol
P/S: Due to the queues on the cable car, I ended up coming down walking as well, which was faster and less strenuous (even though quite slippery)
