Santorini is a unique destination when you go to Greece.

Santorini’s sunsets are among the most beautiful phenomena on the planet.

There is nothing more dreamy than watching a sunset in Santorini. It’s just wonderful!

1. Fira

In the southern part of central Fira, near the cathedral, is an excellent location at sunset.

Relax with a drink or dinner in one of the many bars and restaurants.

Franco’s bar is a special place with wood sunbeds only accompanied by classical music and fantastic cocktails.

Some places may require bookings depending on the time of year.

2. Oia Castle

It is the most beautiful sunset spot on the whole island.

Unfortunately, this makes it by far the busiest sunset spot in Santorini.

In the summer months, you will find hundreds of people leaning over for a memorable photo.

Once the sun is hidden in the sea, everyone claps together. Incredible experience!

3. Santo Winery

This winery is located in the middle of Santorini island.

It has a large terrace with tables offering great views of the sunset.

Adding the choice of enjoying all the varieties of wine from the Santo Winery, pairing with the appetizers, you will have a truly unforgettable experience.

It is no coincidence that dozens of buses arrive at the site for this purpose.

Also, there is a special place, always overlooking the sea and the sunset, many weddings take place.

4.  The Lighthouse

Located at the bottom of the island of Santorini.

Τhis lighthouse is so beautiful in itself, but it also offers an excellent spot for a view of the Santorini sunset.

Be Ready to park in which you can then walk down into the lighthouse.

On the way into the lighthouse, you will encounter a windmill that offers a fantastic place to find the sunset.

5. Ammoudi Bay

Ιs a small picturesque port at the foot of Oia.

Surrounded by spectacular red rocks and one of the most beautiful spots in Santorini.

It has 2-3 fantastic fish taverns in the harbor, where you can enjoy excellent greek seafood, and see the whole sunset right in front of the sea.

6. Venetsanos Winery

The view is probably the best you can get in Santorini.

You have the opportunity to a delicious wine tasting accompanied by a light lunch.

Venetsanos winery has a view to die for and a sunset out of this world.

I definitely would recommend it to everyone coming to Santorini.

7. Southern Santorini

Finally, the coastal road through the southern part of Santorini has a range of places providing a fantastic view of the caldera’s sunset.
