Donkeys heading back down the trail.

Travel Tip:

It saves time to work out

your preferred method of transport up

to the town of Fira before you get to the

Cycladic Island of Santorini.

There’s really only three to

choose from – Cable Car, Donkeys

or walk. Just keep in mind the

town is 300m above sea level!

Once you get there your rewarded with

the most magnificent views.

This is a roof top panorama of Hotel Villa Renos,
