Oia Sunset Viewpoint
36° 27.6′ N · 25° 22.4′ E
The ruined castle (Kasteli) at the western tip of Oia, the most famous sunset spot in Greece, looking over windmills, blue domes and the caldera to Thirasia.
Practical
Coordinates are the Citadel of Oia (OSM). Crowds pack the castle and the lanes for an hour before sunset in summer; arrive very early or watch from a taverna terrace or, better, from your own boat off Ammoudi or Thirasia. Oia's bus station queues are very long after sunset (last bus around 10-10:30pm). From the water: Ammoudi Bay is about 300 steps below.
