Athinios port

This guide to Athinios port on Santorini follows the taxi and bus drivers who plan their whole day around the ferries rather than a clock, since boats from Piraeus arrive early, late, or not at all. You'll hear how word of an approaching ferry sets off a scramble among the island's roughly twenty-five taxis, and what it takes to run the switchback cliff road up to Fira dozens of times a day. It also traces how this working harbor came to exist at all, after boats once landed passengers beneath Fira itself.
