Santorini : 6 SECRET SUNSET SPOTS [Away from the crowds]

Santorini is famous for the beauty of its sunsets. The problem is that the most popular places have become very overcrowded. But there are still a few secret spots to watch epic sunsets from !
UPDATE : Sunset Spot #1 (Lighthouse) and #5 (Imerovigli) are NO LONGER REACHABLE.
Spot #1 got fenced off by the owner, as he doesn't want to be liable if someone gets injured on his property.
Spot #5 is also fenced off, a hotel is going to be built there.

Agree 100%. It's like the National Geographic channel!! Super addictive!!! ❤

Bummer!!!

[@ursachi_razvan]

They have now a small iron fence (around 50 cm in height) over which you can easily pass over. I saw some people going there, and we went after them, and no one told us anything.

[@chiaraliscacci1192]

oh, what a pity! 😪

[@MrBritishComedy]

I will be going back to Santorini this September and I will probably check out at least one of these spots, but to be fair - while these sunsets do seem beautiful - I would still recommend doing the Oia sunset at least once if you can live with the crowds. It is simply unique. I've done it 5 years ago and never regretted it. It's by far the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my life.

[@jaynerushton3442]

We are going in mid September 2025 for my 60th !! It’s on the list 🎉

Hello Sebastian, Do you have any advice on where to see a beautiful sunrise? Maybe it's material for another video. thanks greetings

No one goes to Oia. It's too crowded 🙂 And hmm, yeah I LOVE those tips!

"Pyrgos Restaurant" !! 100% !!

I'm planing on going to Greece and spend a least one month...I'm planning on spending time in different villages cities but I would like to stay like in bed and breakfasts or homes...also I would like to have a tourist guide for some days like Athens Santorini and the moneatari3s...please let me know how I can get that . Your videos are amazing

[@peterjamessmith9265]

Hahahaha! The sneeze.

[@hisashivalentine]

This video is so helpful! I was getting frustrated after checking out options online. I am not travelling on low budget, but I feel kinda cheated if I have to pay 100€ deposit for a sunset view table in Oia. From all the options, which one would you consider the BEST option when travelling with 60+ year old mum who gets sea sick at times and can't walk forever? :( I want to give her the experience but I also don't want to torture her with a long hike into the wilderness or/and go sailing. We are visiting mid-May.

[@GreeceExplained]

Hey Eve ! I do a daily walking tour just outside of Oia at sunset time, and I bring you to a spot which would be ideal for your mother ! You can find it here : www.airbnb.com/experiences/3376813

Great videos! These spots won’t remain a secret for long now though will they 😬

[@zurina711zainal4]

Hi. I've made reservation at Franco's Restaurant in Fira to watch the sunset because we have to rush to the airport for our flight back at 8.55pm. I hope I made the right move. What's your opinion of Franco's for sunsets?

[@GreeceExplained]

The view is great ! Food, I dont know.

[@morrisvanderlinden3549]

Imagine the Sunset on Skaros Rock or the church below

[@karstenregman1307]

Ve been at the Lighthouse yesterday. The Spot You recommend is Not för public use anymore...

[@GreeceExplained]

Correct. It's fenced off since April 2022. Just pinned a comment with this info so that everyone can see it. Thx for the input !

Hi! Im a new suscriber love your videos! Which restaurant with sunset view would you recomend for late march? Thanks!

lol nonon tout est la :-p

[@foxytiti]

@@GreeceExplained hahah. thnx for the videos

[@benedictlim8468]

Can you do a video on sunrise? :) Thanks!

[@GreeceExplained]

Probably not because the sun rises East, which is the much less interesting side of Santorini. Caldera Cliffs are facing West, that's why sunSETS are so iconic, and sunrises not really.

[@wendybutler2359]

​stay in Fira. Sunrise in the morning. Caldera sunset in the evening

[@the-matrix1111]

Gday mate, just saw the new update on your description in regards to the lighthouse being fenced off. Are you saying 2:13 to 2:15 that sunset spot is fully closed now? If so, then where would be good for Akrotiri sunset view?

[@GreeceExplained]

I confirm the secret spot at the lighthouse is fenced off. As an alternative in Akrotiri, I recommend this one : 36.36157013043534, 25.387711294925026

[@vasilital]

Thank you for the tips! If we will be at sunset at mavro vouno how would we go back to Fera? Is it safe to continue to oia at dark and take bus from there? Thanks!

[@GreeceExplained]

Hey Vasili, yes totally safe to walk back down to Oia and then take a bus. After the sun sets, there's still 30min of twilight, which is more than enough to go down.

[@mickieduan1839]

Hello , I am staying in a Oia hotel in June. What sunset cruise do you recommend? Should I book in advance? We are a party of 3. Thanks
