Apart from all their other charms, the Cyclades Islands are known for their incredible sunsets.
Follow us on this quest for the most spectacular sunsets in the Cyclades!
Whitewashed alleys, gorgeous architecture,
and pristine beaches, the Cyclades Islands have all this and so much more.
When spending a vacation in the Cyclades, try not to miss a single sunset as there’s
nothing more beautiful than to watch the sun dive into the vastness of the Aegean Sea.
To make this video, we watched not one, not two, but seven amazing sunsets in the Cyclades.
Probably the most iconic spot in Mykonos, Little Venice is the ideal place to enjoy
a sunset stroll followed by a cocktail or two at one of the quaint seaside bars.
These colorful houses on the edge of the sea were built between the 13th and 18th
centuries when Mykonos was under Venetian control.
Hence the name Little Venice.
Little Venice is the most popular spot
to watch the sunset in Mykonos… … while Armenistis Lighthouse is
where you should go if you dream of an unforgettable sunset with fewer crowds!
Built in 1891, Armenistis Lighthouse overlooks the
island of Tinos and the vastness of the Aegean Sea for centuries on end.
Nowadays, it’s one of the most scenic sunset spots in the Cyclades.
The Old
Port of Naoussa is the best spot to enjoy a breathtaking sunset in Paros.
In the north of Paros Island,
Naoussa is a quaint fishing village with high-end restaurants and trendy bars.
The Old Port of Naoussa, adorned by traditional wooden boats
floating lazily in the sea and dominated by the remains of a stunning Venetian Castle,
is a sight to behold during the golden hour.
This marble gate opens up to one of the dreamiest sunsets in the Cyclades!
Portara is the ultimate symbol of Naxos and the most famous sunset spot on the island.
Standing atop the islet of Palatia near the port of Naxos, Portara is a magnificent marble gate,
the only remaining part of the ancient Temple of Apollo.
Oia’s sunset is what made this almost unbearably beautiful town famous all across the globe.
Yet Oia also has a fascinating history.
Between the 19th and 20th centuries, Oia flourished as a maritime superpower.
However, in 1956, a devastating earthquake
destroyed Oia and forced locals to leave their beloved hometown behind.
Fast forward to a few decades later, Oia gradually became a world-renowned
destination, known for its unique architecture, jaw-dropping scenery, and of course, its sunset.
When the sunset comes, all roads lead to Oia… … but what if we told you that there’s a way
to watch the most glorious sunset in Santorini without the crowds?
Joining a cruise in Santorini is the best way to enjoy the sunset without the crowds.
During the cruise, you can swim in Santorini’s hot springs,
marvel at the caldera’s dramatic cliffs and make memories to last a lifetime.
Although Oia is the most famous sunset spot in Santorini,
many claim that watching the sunset in Fira is even better.
The vibrant capital of Santorini, Fira is a picturesque town with impressive museums,
gorgeous churches, and countless photo spots.
Fira is also the obvious choice for anyone wishing to experience Santorini’s nightlife.
But the true magic of Fira reveals itself during the sunset when the
sun looks as though it takes a dip into Santorini’s majestic volcano.
