Description
This shows the narrow streets of Lindos with its white buildings throughout. These donkeys carry hundreds of tourists upto the acropolis every day. There is no dung on the streets for long the locals rush out and sweep it up straight away. I believe it is because there soil is poor and the manure is a great free fertilizer!
This shot shows the gradient well. A lot of people with fitness problems need the donkeys to get them up there. I liked the doorway, blooms and action on this one!

Poor donkeys! This looks so attractive with the bouganvillea

Excellent composition - I'm guessing you patiently waited for the donkeys to align in just the right configuration to create the line leading the eye up the stairs. A very bright, sunny & colorful shot with appealing light & shadows. I agree with Andrea's comment about the donkeys - the Stones song "Beast of Burden" comes to mind. These particular riders, all relatively slim young girls, may not be too bad a burden, but I can imagine heavier adults being pretty oppressive - especially on hot days...

A lovely shot and I feel sorry for the donkeys but then their owners have to look after them to get the maximum return.

You composed it perfectly, and I also love the white doorways with the bougainvillea. What a beautifully "foreign" scene!
