Stairs Santorini, Greece.
In 1715 the island residents built a steep staircase on the hillside so they could get from the sea to the summit and back. They had to use donkeys to help carry cargo and passengers from ships up to the city. In 1930, the stairs were improved, but donkeys were still the most reliable carriers. Finally, in 1979, a ropeway was installed to automate the process, but for tourists, the most interesting trip to the top, is still the donkeys. There are a total of 657 carved, stone steps to climb to the large town on the top.
