About
त्वरित तथ्य: You can skip the steep staircase and float in small cabins that carry people up and down the cliff in just a few minutes, offering calm, enclosed comfort after a sun-hot walk. Night rides feel cinematic, with village lights twinkling below and the sound of waves adding a surprisingly soothing soundtrack.
मुख्य आकर्षण: A brisk, three-minute ascent often brings cabins to within about five meters of sheer volcanic rock, so passengers smell salt spray and hear waves while framing photos against whitewashed houses. Occasionally operators briefly pause at the midpoint to let photographers capture golden-hour light, a quietly practiced courtesy that turns an ordinary transfer into a memorable photo-op.
Insider tips
- Buy tickets from the automated machines to speed boarding and bring a card in case the desk is busy.
- Stand on the left side when descending for the best uninterrupted caldera and sea views.
- Avoid mid-morning to early afternoon when cruise ships arrive, expect long queues then.
- Travel light and wear comfortable shoes, the Old Port has steep steps and uneven cobbles.
