The most unforgettable sunsets

When you think of the Greek island of Santorini, the first thing that comes to mind is the unrivaled sunsets. It's true that seeing the sun slowly set across the Mediterranean from the caldera is nothing short of spectacular! The twilight sky gradually changing to vivid reds and oranges is like witnessing Mother Nature paint a real-life picture right in front of your eyes. It's no surprise that photographs of this anticipated daily event are in high demand among visitors.

The undisputed winner is Oia in Santorini, where visitors from all over the world flock each year to watch the sunset. To be honest, sunsets are spectacular anywhere on the caldera, but at this northernmost edge of Santorini, they surpass even the most fantastical thoughts. Tourists who are in the know frequently walk up to the hillside behind Oia, which provides the finest opportunity to see the sunset away from the crowds. You can also go to Little Venice (aka Alefkantra). It is one of the island's most romantic places. With its lovely architecture, the scenic area of Mykonos Chora was originally home to wealthy merchants and captains. At this time of history, these beautiful houses with their colorful windows and doors and traditional balconies have become restaurants and cafes. Just pick one of them and sit watch the sunset with a cocktail in your hand!
