Creator's Key Takeaways
Santorini is a tender port. That means your ship doesn't dock at a pier, but rather it anchors offshore and they f you to a dock on a smaller boat, a tender.
One, there is a€ 10 cable car that zips you right up to the top. The only problem with that is the lines can be really long.
The second option for the more adventurous is you can ride a donkey up the hill on a little windy path and that zips you right up there and that's about €10.
The third option is you can hike the same windy path up and it takes about 40 minutes and it can be pretty physically demanding especially in the hot Mediterranean sun.
