The quick way to get to/from the top of the caldera is the tram. It runs constantly, and delivers passengers in about 5-6 minutes. It runs so frequently, that there are only short delays during peak hours. It beats the alternatives, walking or riding the poor donkeys up the side of the mountain. More

The tram is definitely the best way to get to the top fast and enjoy the spectacular reviews. traveled to Santorini August 2006 on a Med cruise. You can hike, take a mule or take the tram. We opted for the tram since we had limited time and wanted to experience as much as we could. We did!!! More

EU20 to Oia We got there around 11am, great weather, perfect picture day. Walked around the town but it gets to a point when literally... More

Plan ahead! The best way to get to the top & down again. Be sure to plan when you're going up and down because lines will form when there are several ships in port. More
