Santorini Sunset is One of The Most Amazing Sunsets I’ve Ever Seen

Santorini sunset is one of the most amazing sunsets I’ve ever seen. Take it from me – as someone who is a sunset whore. In every city I’ve visited, I’ve always steered myself where the sun goes down. There is always something about sunsets that draws me to them. Sunsets are not just amazing, but also hypnotizing.

Below are sunset photos I took from Fira only. Oia is another town where can watch the golden sunset with the rest of the visitors. I’ll post some (or many) of them in my future blog entry.

Bring out your Ray-ban sunglasses and enjoy the Santorini sunset!

On our first afternoon, we joined the crowd because we thought that was the only spot to watch the sunset. We were so wrong.

Things to do in Santorini

You can definitely explore Santorini on your own. The island has okay public transport that goes along the main road from one end to the other end. You can explore it on foot but you have to fight your way in crowded narrow alleys. You don’t need to go on a tour for a guide to show you around. I’d recommend that you should do it on your own. I’m pretty sure you will figure out the streets yourself.

However, if you want to go island hopping or ride on a catamaran during sunset, you have to join a tour OR, if you are a millionaire, rent a yacht! We did the island hopping but we couldn’t afford the sunset cruise. Sad. ☺️

Hostel in Santorini – Where to Stay

Santorini has two hostels but they’re located far from Fira and Oia – where you’ll see those postcard-perfect white houses that captivated your senses. We stayed at Santa Irini Hotel in Perissa, 5 minutes walk to the Black Beach. The hotel has its own swimming pool surrounded by red bougainvilleas. I would definitely recommend this boutique hotel because of its kind staff, close proximity to the bus stop, grocery stores, and restaurants. And they’re gay-friendly, too!

Do You Want to Have a Hotel in Santorini With Your Own Pool?

Well, don’t look any further. Canvas Suites in Oia will make your stay romantic on your whole vacation. You can book it through Booking.comExpedia, and TripAdvisor.
