Santorini cable car, Aerial tramway in Fira, Greece.
The Santorini Cable Car system connects the old port with the town of Fira, covering a vertical distance of 220 meters along the cliff face.
The transportation system opened in 1982 as a result of the Loula and Evangelos Nomikos Foundation initiative to improve access between port and town.
The cable car operation maintains connections with local traditions by sharing revenue with mule drivers who previously provided the main transportation service.
The system carries 1,200 passengers per hour in both directions, with each gondola accommodating six people for a three-minute journey between stations.
The Austrian-manufactured Doppelmayr system generates funds for local community projects through ticket sales while offering transportation services.
