Fira is the capital of the island of Santorini, built on the edge of a cliff which is in fact, the rim of a volcanic crater, the 'Caldera'.
The town is approximately 900 feet almost 800 broad zigzagging steps up above the port and harbour.
You can either walk (!),
take a donkey ride up the winding steps or take the easier option and pay a few Euros for the cable car ride.
Climbing the steps along with your baggage strapped to the back of a Donkey has been a tradition on Santorini for years, although when the cable car was opened in the 1980's many travellers have taken the more modern mechanical ascent.
