                <description><![CDATA[Walk from Oia to Fira late in the day when it's cooling down. Get the bus to Oia, spend some time in this beautiful jewel of a place, then walk the six miles or so back along the cliffs to Fira as the sun is setting - magical! Not forgetting the comfy shoes!]]></description>

                <title>The old port of Santorini, and the mules and cable car</title>

                <description><![CDATA[The old port of Santorini originally could only be reached by the long winding set of steps down from Thira. All 888 of them, or 588, but lots! The locals came up with an easy way for seafarers to go up to the town of Fira: use mules to carry people up and down. Today the tourist and charter boats bring tourists in who ride the mules up to Fira for their short stay on Santorini. <br><br>One can get to the old port (it is worth a visit) by walking down (which we did). The choice is then to either take a mule ride back up or take its modern equivalent, the cable car. We chose the cable car for the views, speed and smoothness. Both the mules and the cable car cost. One can also think about walking back up... but I recommend against it.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Take the bus from the main town of Fira to Imerovigli (about a 5 minute ride).  Then walk along the rim of the caldera - it's about a 2-3 hour walk with spectacular views of the caldera the whole way.  Ia is a great place too, and you can catch the bus from there back to Fira.]]></description>
