Santorini Cable Car: The Cable Car on Santorini Greece, Cyclades

 

 

Santorini Cable Car: The system of the cable car in Santorini was started by Evangelos Nomikos, a shipowner. He established the Loula and Evangelos Nomikos Foundation in 1979 and paid all the expenses of the cable car purchase and installation. He understood the transportation problem that both locals and tourists faced in Santorini due to the rudimentary roads.

The cable car now belongs to the fourteen communities of Santorini. It carries about 1200 people every hour and is constructed by Dopplemayr according to Austrian regulations.

A number of tourists prefer to take the traditional mule ride just for the experience. Besides, the foundation compensates them by paying them a percentage of the ticket price in order to help them survive. The rest of the proceeds are given to the island’s communities to carry out developmental work.

The cable car carries passengers from the port of Gialos to the capital town of Fira. The journey takes about 3 minutes and is the perfect way to experience the sights of Santorini in all its beauty right from the top of the world.
