Built in 1982 with a donation from the Loula & Evangelos Nomikos Foundation, the cable car was designed to ease transportation for both locals and tourists. It can carry up to 1,200 passengers per hour in its six cabins, each accommodating six people. As the cable car glides down the steep slope, passengers are treated to breathtaking vistas that capture the beauty of Santorini’s rugged landscape. It’s an ideal option for visitors arriving by cruise ship who wish to explore the island’s charms without the physical strain of climbing up or down hundreds of steps. The Santorini Cable Car is not only a practical transportation mode but also a scenic experience, making it a must-do activity for visitors on a Greece tour seeking to fully immerse themselves in the island's picturesque allure.
