| “Loula & Evangelos
Nomikos Foundation” was established in 1979 by the
ship owner Evangelos Nomikos who gave all the expenses
for the Cable Car purchase and installation. In addition
to all the other offers, E. Nomikos has contributed much
to the island. He mediated the transportation problem
of the locals and the thousands of tourists who visit
it every year and decided to offer one of the most developed
works of the Cyclades province. |
| Its purpose is (according
to the foundation's constitution), to help the communities
in developmental works.
The Cable Car now belongs to the 14 communities of
Santorini and this way the Greek regional administration
is given a successful example of self management. This
is achieved without ignoring the traditional mule drivers
who have offered so much, giving a unique beautiful
sight to the island.
The foundation approaches them with sympathy and compensation,
paying them a percentage of the ticket price in order
to help this tradition to survive.
Santorini's Cable Car serves 1200 persons per hour
totally and is constructed by Doppelmayr® according
to the Austrian Regulations. The proceeds from the tickets
are given to the island's Communities for the execution
of development work. |
