M	Mauro Demaria on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 679/5000 I wanted to rate 0 but 1 is the minimum. DON'T RIDE THESE DONKEY! Experience absolutely to be avoided. I did not ride these poor animals but there were dozens of people who enjoyed climbing 300 steps on the mules' back. Many were children (with very bad teaching from parents) and many were adults (of considerable weight). I would say it is cruelty. Look at the picture of what happens to these poor animals. Furthermore the road is full of mule feces which also makes the descent / ascent on foot an experience to avoid. Next to it there is a cable car that costs as much as riding a mule: € 6. It takes less than two minutes and damage to these agonizing animals is avoided. Please let's stop with this attraction!!!!
W	Wei Xin Yuan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We came in low season early December. We were the only riders. The guy charged us extra ten Euros each person (50) one way compared to the online price of 40. He asked us multiple times if things are "okay". So that was pretty funny. I thought the ride was fun. It lasted about 20 minutes entire trip. My friend thoroughly enjoyed the donkey ride, so it was worth it, even though I felt ripped off.
P	Putri SG on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Walking down with smell of donkeys poo. Be carefull not to step on it. The view is worthed. If you have strong knees, better go down walking or if you want to pay more by riding donkey but a little bit scary with all the riding down. When you were walking there will a viewing path to take picture and some were living lock of heart on the tree.
J	James W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great little hike downhill. Make sure to wear comfortable closed toe shoes as this path also have lots of donkeys which equals to lots of donkey poo poo and pee pee. ? We originally felt bad for the donkeys but they look well fed, healthy and feisty so we decided to go uphill on the donkeys. The donkeys we were on basically paced themselves, and the individual animals were competitive which made for a very interesting and exciting trip up. A word of caution - please do not ride with children who would be scared and cry, as the noise would spook the animals, causing the donkey trainer to yell at the kid, which generally results in more screaming. Not a good cycle. And... the donkeys just walk wherever they want so don’t assume they will avoid the pedestrians.
D	Dominique Fleischmann on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Horrible for the donkeys. If you don't want to walk yourself, take the cable car which costs the same!! Some donkeys even have injuries and they are forced to carry heavy tourists up the stars every day anyways!!
K	Kenzie Steele on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Seeing this for myself made me so sick I started to cry on the steps on the pathway in santorini. The mules were being hit with sticks and yelled at aggressively. They looks tired and and I swear I could see tears in their eyes. Everytime they would stop to try to rest they would be abused. Also. They were slipping and couldn’t even walk right they were so over worked. And all for 10 bucks when there is a perfect cable car. I saw the workers yank them around like trash. And they didn’t go home to rest until 11 at night when I saw them tie them together and leave.
C	Chloe M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is animal abuse, it is clear to see how bad these donkeys are treated. They are tied to each other, have open wounds, no access to shade or water. Please do not ride the donkeys for your entertainment or pure laziness, if you cannot walk up the steps please use the cable cars for the same price.
J	J D on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Poor animals are treated badly, as they have long days and live through horrible conditions— while being used for entertainment to walk up / down steps. Take the cable car if you cannot walk up these stairs because these animals do not deserve a life like this.
