Vlog 071 - Fira - Santorini - The Karavolades Stairs
As an entertainer on a cruise ship we stop for the day in Santorini - Greece & walk down the famous steps.
This video also includes Crystal Palace beating Man Utd 2-1 in September 2019 & a short clip of Rhodes.
It was 600 steps to the top of Santorini
The stepped road starts in the harbour, and leads up to the town of Fira. The capital of the island was moved to Fira from Pygos Kallistis in the beginning of the 19th century. Now Fira is a growing town with a population of about 1500 people, which live in the present but try to retain the local traditions of the past.
Santorini (Greece) - Cable Car ride down #3.2
In Santorini, Greece, there are 2 ways to go down from the island to the boats to go back to the ships. There are the Karavolades stairs (with about 200 steps, that you have to share with slave donkeys) and there are the cable cars (which line to get inside can hold you for up to 2 hours...). When I went to the island of Oia, with the Jewel of the Seas, I took the cable cars, and this is its view!

Βόλος Τεράστιο πρόβλημα στη Σκιάθο από τη χρεωκοπία της Thomas Cook 230919
Τεράστιο πρόβλημα προκάλεσε στη Σκιάθο η χρεωκοπία της εταιρίας Thomas Cook που μεταφέρει στο νησί τους μισούς σχεδόν τουρίστες κάθε χρόνο! Η Thomas Cook είναι από τα μεγαλύτερα ταξιδιωτικά πρακτορεία του κόσμου. Σήμερα τα ξημερώματα ανακοίνωσε πως κήρυξε χρεοκοπία και στο νησί της Σκιάθου προκλήθηκε πανικός καθώς η εταιρεία διαχειρίζεται ένα μεγάλο μέρος της αγοράς όχι μόνο το επίπεδο μεταφοράς τουριστών αλλά και ξενοδοχείων. Η συγκεκριμένη εξέλιξη αφήνει αποκλεισμένους περίπου 150 χιλιάδες Βρετανούς τουρίστες σε όλο τον κόσμο, αλλά και 22.000 υπαλλήλους παγκοσμίως χωρίς δουλειά.

Thira: The capital of Santorini is called Thira or sometimes called Fira. It is located in the west of the island, located on top of a cliff looking at a volcano. Santorini is the result of an incredible explosion that happened over 3500 years ago. The island has been constantly shaken by earthquakes, the last one happened this century.

10 Most Famous Stairways Around the World
10 Most Famous Stairways Around the World
A staircase is perhaps the most common piece of architectural miracles, which we are very used to using, and we often forget how great they are. There are ancient: they have been serving mankind from about 6000 BC, helping us overcome height, small or big. Here is a list of 10 most famous stairways around the world. Let’s take a look:
10. Canyon Staircase
The Canyon Staircase in Ecuador is located near the famous Paílón del Diablo waterfall on the Pastaza River. It is a fairly large waterfall, and one of the major tourist destinations of Ecuador. The stairway itself is one of the greatest attractions of the place. It meanders through the foliage with natural curves in sync with the waterfall, and is one of the most famous stairways in the world.
9. The Spanish Steps
The Spanish Steps are located in Roma, Italy. They are a monumental set of 135 stairs that lead to the Trinità dei Monti in Piazza Trinità dei Monti, climbing a steep slope, with the Piazza di Spagna at the base. It was built in 1723-1725 to form a link between the church and the Bourbon Spanish Embassy. A walk up these stairs will be a reminder of scenes from the 1953 classic, Roman Holiday.
8. Potemkin Stairs
The Potemkin Stairs, located in Odesa, Ukraine, is the the symbol of Odessa, and acts as the entrance to the city from the sea. Originally known as the Boulevard steps, the Giant Staircase and the Richelieu steps, it had 200 stairs, but 8 were lost under sand during the extension of the port. Battleship Potemkin, one of the greatest films, has an act, The Odessa Steps, is set on this stairway.
7. Bueren Mountain
The Montagne de Bueren or the Bueren Mountain in Liège, Belgium, is not a real mountain. It is a stairway of 374 steps. It leads to the famous but largely destroyed Citadel from the Hors-Château. It was built in 1881 to help the soldiers climb down from the top of the hill to the centre of the city safely. From the top of the stairway, one can get an excellent view of the city and the Meus River.
6. Santorini Stairway
The Santorini Stairway in Greece is one of the most famous stairways in the world. It was built in 1715 as a rough stairway into the side of the mountain, by the inhabitants of the island to hike to the top. It was improved later and used to carry cargo and passengers, on donkey-back, mainly. Though there is a cable car, the donkey rides up the zigzag stairway with 657 steps is still fun and popular.
5. Sigiriya Lion’s Rock Sri Lanka
Sigiria, or the Lion Rock, located in Sri Lanka, is a gigantic column of rock of about 200 m. Once upon a time, it had the Sky for the king built atop this rock, which was later used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century, which is now in its ruins. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, Sigiriya has a stairway of 1200 steps. Climbing them may be strenuous, but the view from the top makes up for it.
4. Baha’í Gardens
The Baha’í gardens in Haifa, Israel, is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world, and is a UNECO World Heritage site. They are spread along a remarkable staircase of 19 terraces and 1700 stairs. This stairway, one of the most famous stairways in the world, extends up the northern slope of Mount Carmel, and is flanked by two streams cascading down through the steps and terrace bridges.
3. Schlossberg Stairs
The Schlossberg clock tower is the main attraction of Graz, Austria, visible from all parts of the city, and from the top of it, Graz and its surroundings areas. To get that that view, tourists have to climb up the Schlossberg Stairs at the far end of Schlossbergplatz. The stairway consisting of 260 steps, are cut into the face of the Schlossberg Hill, back and forth to the clock tower and the top of the hill.
2. Tiger Cave Temple
The Tiger Cave Temple is a famous Buddhist temple in Krabi, Thailand, and is a sacred Buddhist site. The temple has two short stairways that merge to form a strenuous set of stairs leading to the top where there is a glorious Buddha statue of 278 m on the 600 m temple. Another set of stairs leads to the limestone cave. There are 1237 steps altogether, which need to be climbed to reach the summit.
1. Chand Baori
Chand Baori is one of the deepest and largest step wells in India, located in Rajasthan. It was constructed to store water for a long time, since there is scarcity of water in Rajasthan. There are 16 storeys that extend to 100 ft, and 3500 steps that are beautifully patterned to lead down to the cool water. The Baori and its stairs have been featured in Hollywood films notably The Dark Knight Rises.
These are some of the most famous stairways in the world. There are several other mind-blowingly beautiful staircases. Many of them have been built a long time ago,
Santorini's Donkeys to Get New Protection From Heavy Loads, Hot Conditions, Says Greek Government |
After videos depicting a donkey struggling to walk under the weight of heavy bags and another being beaten by its owner sparked outrage among animal activists, officials in Santorini announced they would enact protections for the famed equines that transport tourists around the Greek island. The municipality of Santorini said Saturday it would limit the weight of each load the donkeys and mules can carry and the number of hours they can work based on their weight and size. Officials also agreed to improve shade for the animals for relief from the heat, which averages about 85 degrees Fahrenheit during summer months, and provide a more steady supply of water in their stables. In a meeting with local officials, four animal welfare groups agreed to secure funding for a veterinary ultrasound for the island’s donkeys. A protest staged earlier in July was met with opposition from local donkey owners, who also joined the meeting to discuss improved welfare measures. U.K. charity the Donkey Sanctuary said the donkeys worked in “disappointing” conditions, hauling tourists and their luggage or loads of trash up and down Santorini’s 600 steep steps of the Karavolades Stairs in Fira, the state’s capital. Donkeys have transported Greek locals and tourists since long before cars were invented, but populations of the country’s donkeys declined 97 percent between 1955 and 2008 among mounting concerns for their welfare and long-term health, researchers found in a 2010 study. Another paper found more than 75 percent of donkeys and mules used for similar packwork in the Middle East suffered limb deformities and had difficulty walking under the weight of their loads. The same study reported that donkeys were more likely to display aggression than other equines. In 2008, a woman was trampled to death by a donkey that escaped its owner in Fira, according to the Greek Reporter. Animal activism has prompted governments to re-evaluate their current protection policies. In 2017, the European Union’s European Parliament adopted a new initiative to improve the health of horses, mules and donkeys popular in tourist destinations by encouraging basic health practices and rewarding small farms for positive animal treatment. Donkeys are a common mode of transportation through the deserts of Petra, Jordan, but animal welfare officials feared the 900-step journey to the Petra Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, places too harsh a toll on the animals, who make the trip several times a day without reprieve. In July, Petra authorities and a Saudi Arabian prince agreed to introduce electric vehicles to carry tourists in addition to the donkeys, water stations and updated animal clinics for regular care to better preserve the park from animal and human footfall.
