Santorini, Greece

Santorini, also called Thera in Greek, is an island located in the south of the Aegean Sea. The name Thera has a meaning as "the most stunning island", which illustrates how magnificent the place is. There is nothing more enchanting than watching a sunset in Santorini. The west side of the island always has a breathtaking perspective, and the colors are absolutely breathtaking.


You might want to choose the best place to enjoy the famous Santorini sunset among these areas:

  • Oia: The most popular sunset spot - the Old Castle will serve you a breathtaking view of the white-washed, blue-domed house and windmills located on the rim of the caldera. To secure the ideal place, people usually start showing up long before sunset. So it is recommended to plan to arrive early if you want a good spot.
  • Fira: Fira, built facing the west and overseeing the Aegean Sea, is the largest town on the island. The peaceful areas with few people around are an advantage of watching the sunset in Fira. You can decide on one of the several appealing bars and cafes and have dinner or a cool drink while watching the sun go down.
  • Akrotiri Lighthouse: Heading to the southwest corner of the island, you can observe the sunset view from the lighthouse for a more tranquil experience. You may enjoy a breathtaking view of the sun diving in the Aegean Sea while perched on the house's side edge or on nearby rocks, which creates an incredibly romantic scene that will leave you breathless.

Watching Santorini sunset is an experience worth enjoying once in a lifetime so let's put it on your wish list and plan your next trip!
