Sunset - Santorini, Greece
We had a wonderful day in Santorini, Greece. Our day began with a visit to a winery, SantoWines Santorini Greece, which provided breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and our ship, Star Princess, anchored below.
From there, we went to the Village of Oia, Santorini Greece for a partially guided walking tour. Pronounced "Eee-ah," the village of Oia is perched high atop the cliffs of Santorini's northern terminus. Known for its quiet beauty and spectacular sunsets, this spot boasts superlative views of neighboring volcanoes.
Continuing Santorini Exploration in Fira we strolled through the narrow lanes of Fira, passing white-washed buildings with splashes of color all around us, doorways that opened to the sea and framed our ship anchored below in the Aegean Sea, and finally returning to our ship after descending from the cliff in the cable car.
Not to be Missed
Still anchored in Santorini when the sun began to set, our vantage point to observe was in the middle of the Aegean Sea. On Oia, many of the locals gravitate to the castle to view the setting sun while others take to the water for a front row seat. All we needed to do was go out on deck for our front row seats to this spectacular light show.
The Santorini sky was painted with shades of yellow and orange which changed to deep red as the sun sank lower on the horizon. Just before dipping into the sea, the sun was divided into layers of yellows, orange, and red taking on a surreal look. This was by far one of the best sunsets we'd ever observed.
