About Oia Sunset

The world's most famous sunset — every evening in summer, thousands of people crowd onto Oia's castle ruins to watch the sun descend behind the Thirassia island into the caldera. The blue-domed church silhouette, the pink light on the white-washed houses, and the collective gasp at the moment of sunset create one of the great shared human experiences.
