Marcos, the donkey
The donkey
Say hello to Marcos, the faithful donkey. Donkeys constitute one of Oia’s most adorable and familiar sights. These calm and easygoing animals have become famous for carrying people up and down the formidable and seemingly never-ending steps connecting Oia to the port of Armeni. The donkey sculpture on Karavokyridon Street is made of fibreglass and invites passersby to reflect on the contribution of these animals to the island’s prosperity.
