Thousands of visitors come to Santorini just to experience the famed Sunset in Oia, one of the island's major attractions. A small town precariously perched on the crescent-shaped volcanic cliffs of the island, Oia has been a popular sunset-watching spot for centuries. A major stop for cruise ships touring the Aegean, the town gets quite crowded by mid-afternoon. It's best to arrive early in the day, leaving plenty of time to explore the town's narrow streets and find the best place for watching or photographing the setting sun. The western side of the town offers the finest views and attracts the majority of visitors, so claim your spot as early as you can. Make Sunset in Oia part of your personalized Oia itinerary using our Oia attractions planner.

Just perfect. You never tire of the different views over the crater and sunsets are the very best. Because of the direction the sun always sets in a perfect direction for viewing from the crater rim.

I’ve seen lots in f beautiful sunsets while travelling but Oia is certainly in my top 3. Get yourself around to ammoudi bay (that’s where all the boat trips go for sunset) and you won’t regret it
