What makes it 86% Couple-Friendly: A couple can share a small cabin, enjoy cliffside sunset views, and step straight into nearby caldera restaurants, yet brief rides and crowded lines limit the romance.
Why 1 hour visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Allows time for round-trip ride, photos at the top station, and quick stroll to nearby viewpoints
Sunset Cable Car Ride:
Ascend around 6–7 pm to watch the caldera glow at sunset from the cabin.
Tip: Arrive 30 minutes before sunset to secure a front-window seat and avoid long queues.
Cliffside Photo Spot:
Step onto the Fira station viewing deck for unobstructed shots of the white buildings and Aegean Sea.
Tip: Use a wide-angle setting and capture your reflection in the cabin windows for romantic portraits.
Caldera-View Dinner:
Walk 100 m to Pelican Kipos or Iriana Café for a meal overlooking the sea cliffs.
Tip: Reserve your table in advance for a window seat and pair local wine with fresh seafood.

staff rude and not helpful who guides you to the cars .. I cannot sit backwards and staff even not bothered to listen … so what you will do if I faint inside the car? though team in the cash desk are nice and polite giving 5 stars only because I work myself in hospitality and not fair of one person to put all experience as bad you can pay card and cash one way

Lovely views of La caldera…. I took the steps going down to the harbour was a big mistake, so my plan was to take back the cable car was the best decision ever. I think is a bit expensive for time of the ride. 2 mins €6, queues can be up to 2 hours if you have a cruise mooring in Santorini. The old harbour is small you will expect to be crowded. But I was lucky I took the cable car around 5.30pm...
In summer, ride at sunrise or sunset to beat the midday heat and crowds. In winter, check the cable car schedule before planning, as hours may shift.
