Olympic Holidays

For perfect endings to each and every day on a Greek escape, including insta-worthy sunsets requiring no filter, the team that offer 34 Greek Islands from 27 UK airports have you covered on Santorini. Here's their…..Sunset Savvy Santorini Picks:

o   Oia (pronounced 'Ee-a'): THE place for sunset watching. The ruined fort above Amoudi Bay is easily accessible by foot, and it's one of the most popular spots for dramatic, panoramic views.  Get there early to get a good spot, especially if the skies are clear.
 
o   Amoudi Bay: The no climb option. Spend the day on the beautiful beach, then combine your sunset-watch with a fabulous, freshly-caught fish dinner in one of the quaint tavernas around the bay.
 
o   The Hike that delivers: There's a good footpath running from Fira to Oia to enjoy the sunset without the crowds
 
o   Imerovigli:  Hop in a car hire and head 300 feet above sea-level, even higher than Oia, this spot has a picturesque ruined castle as well as breath-taking views of both the sunset and the caldera.
 
o   Over a cocktail: Franco's Café Bar in Kasteli, Pyrgos is a great spot to relax and enjoy the sunset accompanied by classical music. Or try the Café Del Mar in Fira – a little pricey, but worth it for the view

o   Sunset sail: Take to the seas for a sunset cruise on one of the many large, comfortable boats which combine sightseeing with refreshments and  live music. Sunset cruises are available from almost any port on the island, and there's a wide choice of vessel, from lively singles party-boats to elegant catamarans or iconic traditional wooden schooners.

And a here's handy website to get the sunset timing spot on:
