Santorini Cable car
Welcome to the official website of the Santorini Cable Car, the fastest and most scenic way to travel between the island’s Old Port and the capital town of Fira. In just three minutes, you’ll glide smoothly up the dramatic caldera cliffs, soaking in panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the whitewashed houses perched above.
This iconic cable car service is more than a convenience—it’s a legacy. Established and operated by the Loula & Evangelos Nomikos Foundation, the cable car was built to serve both the local community and the millions of travelers who visit Santorini each year. All proceeds go directly back into charitable, educational, and cultural projects across the Cyclades.

The Santorini Cable Car offers a unique transportation experience unlike any other in the Aegean. Whether you’re arriving by cruise ship or exploring the island on your own, the cable car provides a quick, reliable, and eco-friendly alternative to the long, winding staircases or traditional donkey rides.
