Head to Akrotiri Lighthouse at the southern edge of the island for wide-open sea views and a beautiful golden-hour setting. This scenic stop is a lovely place to enjoy Santorini’s rugged coastline and watch the light begin to soften before sunset.

Continue toward Profitis Ilias, the highest point on Santorini, for sweeping panoramic views across the island. From here, the late-day light brings out the contrast between the caldera, the villages, and the volcanic landscape.

Spend time in Oia, Santorini’s most famous sunset village, where whitewashed houses, narrow lanes, and cliffside views create one of the island’s most iconic evening settings. This stop is ideal for strolling, photos, and soaking up the atmosphere as the sun begins to drop.

If you choose a winery stop, Santo Wines offers caldera views in a beautiful late-afternoon setting. It is a relaxing place to enjoy the scenery and watch the colors change over the volcanic cliffs as sunset approaches.
