Getting around Santorini is like using a stair stepper. All the towns are atop the cliffs, so to get close to the water you have to climb down. Usually this involved some scary stretches of crumbling rocks. But the worst part was getting back up. The steps were not high, but at almost a 45 degree angle, and there were hundreds. After climbing up a couple times, I started to understand why the Greeks prefer to ride donkeys.
The Spanish Steps (Italian: Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti) are a set of steps in Rome, Italy, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the Trinità dei Monti church at the top.
The monumental stairway of 135 steps (the slightly elevated drainage system is often mistaken for the first step) was built with French diplomat Étienne Gueffier’s bequeathed funds of 20,000 scudi, in 1723–1725, linking the Bourbon Spanish Embassy, and the Trinità dei Monti church that was under the patronage of the Bourbon kings of France, both located above — to the Holy See in Palazzo Monaldeschi located below.
