Few places can compete with the beauty of Santorini during sunset—the most breathtaking hours of the day when the golden rays of the sun make everything look magical. Santorini’s sunset is considered one of the most mystifying ones in the whole world, and people visit the island to photograph it and, most of all, be swept away by the dazzling spectacle.
Santorini is a place interwoven with this phenomenon, and its unique volcanic landscape is an idyllic canvas for the setting sun to flaunt its palette of golden, orange, pink and purple hues. The visitors can admire this special event from many places throughout the island; however, Oia is an absolute must when it comes to sunset-viewing, offering front row seats to the glorious solar show!
