The 260 m difference in altitude from the crater rim in Fira down to the Old Port is easily covered on foot, and back as well.
Please do not take donkeys or mules. This cruelty to animals must stop and be boycotted.

Fira (Santorini)

Highlight • Settlement

Those who respect themselves walk and enjoy meter by meter. I feel sorry for these poor donkeys - the sometimes "disproportionate" human loads they have to drag up in the scorching heat day after day is horrific even for the observer!

View of Fira and the caldera

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the port of Skala, you can reach the village of Thira, 300 meters higher up, picturesquely nestled along the crater's rim. Thira is the island's main town. The town is often also called Fira. The 300 meters to the town center can be reached on foot via the famous staircase, with its hundreds of steps (587 steps). Those who find this too strenuous can reach this picturesque town either on donkey back or by cable car.
