A local would say...

Five hundred steps uphill through centuries of sea-captain houses — earn the view, then eat at the taverna waiting at the top.

A steep cobbled stairway of approximately 500 steps connecting Gialos harbour to the hillside town of Horio on Symi island. The path winds through sea captains' houses and crumbling remains. The harbour below has neoclassical facades described as one of the prettiest in the entire Dodecanese.
