How Long are Lineups for Cable Car in Santorini?

[luvtocook]

We were in Santorini in July on the Norwegian Gem, which arrives at Santorini at 4PM. We wanted to maximize our time on the island, so we took the Oia and Winery excursion, and it was worth the cost. We tendered to the port South of the cable car/donkeys, then took a bus to the Winery, (great wine samples and views of island) then the bus ride to Oia took us over most of the island. After Oia, the bus took us to Fira, and at the end gave us a voucher for a cable car down (it was dark by then). Some in our party only went up cable car or donkey and only had time for Fira.

Make the most of Santorini, it is unbelieveable.

 

We are there from 7 AM to 6 PM and are doing a 6 hour private tour of the island. Since it is in Nov, beaches won't be anything we are too interested in visiting. Hoping to see everything else. Really looking forward to it.

No handrails - walls on either side, rough - I enjoy walking but I don't think I really want to walk down those steps but maybe I'm too much of a princess!

Hello, we will be spending the day on Santorini with three children ages 7,6, and 4 in late October.

Are children allowed to ride the donkeys?

Donkeys love children per this article. But if your children aren't used to riding animals, or might be nervous, I would take the cable car. This doesn't seem like the safest place to have such young children try riding a donkey.
