Santorini : 6 SECRET SUNSET SPOTS [Away from the crowds]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- Santorini is famous for the beauty of its sunsets. The problem is that the most popular places have become very overcrowded. But there are still a few secret spots to watch epic sunsets from !
UPDATE : Sunset Spot #1 (Lighthouse) and #5 (Imerovigli) are NO LONGER REACHABLE.
Spot #1 got fenced off by the owner, as he doesn't want to be liable if someone gets injured on his property.
Spot #5 is also fenced off, a hotel is going to be built there.

It’s a highly underrated channel
I totally agree with you
Agree 100%. It's like the National Geographic channel!! Super addictive!!! ❤
Sunset Spot #1 (Lighthouse) and #5 (Imerovigli) are NO LONGER REACHABLE.
Spot #1 got fenced off by the owner, as he doesn't want to be liable if someone gets injured on his property.
Spot #5 is also fenced off, a hotel is going to be built there.
Bummer!!!
They have now a small iron fence (around 50 cm in height) over which you can easily pass over. I saw some people going there, and we went after them, and no one told us anything.
oh, what a pity! 😪
I will be going back to Santorini this September and I will probably check out at least one of these spots, but to be fair - while these sunsets do seem beautiful - I would still recommend doing the Oia sunset at least once if you can live with the crowds. It is simply unique. I've done it 5 years ago and never regretted it. It's by far the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my life.
We are going in mid September 2025 for my 60th !! It’s on the list 🎉
Thank you!!!!!
BEST video on SANTORINI esp for photography! Thanks for sharing!!
Great channel. So useful
We just got back from Santorini. After studying your videos we went with most of your reccomendations. They are spot on! Cant wait for more tips for our next visit. Thanks!

Thank you, Sebestian! Comming next week.
Excellent
Sebi, your chanel saved my life in Santorini! Thanks for all the good advices. I got the spots you mentioned here! Thank you so much!
Awesome video , really like it👍👍thanks for sharing and take care
Yes I'm going to do this tomorrow!!!
We also love the sunset spot at the front church in Imerovigli. Agios Georgios Chapel.
Awesome tips. Will be hitting No.1 and No.3 for sure next month. 🇬🇷 🌅
Very well made informational videos that has given us a great experience in Santorini so far!
Went to Pyrgos and it is definitely underated but I hope it stays that way :)
By far you are the BEST Pre Game channel for our upcoming trip to Santorini. My girlfriend and I are so glad we found your channel! Thank you..we are watching all your videos!
Wow this channel is amazing. I’m literally doing all my research & prep purely off this channel. Sebsstian you’re very good at what you do ! Thanks for all the tips
Thanks Sebi in May when i am coming over there i will spent time you mentioned secret spot
You re gonna love it !!!! 😁😁
Sunset from the Caldera is sensational too
Great videos! These spots won’t remain a secret for long now though will they 😬
Hahahaha! The sneeze.
I'm planing on going to Greece and spend a least one month...I'm planning on spending time in different villages cities but I would like to stay like in bed and breakfasts or homes...also I would like to have a tourist guide for some days like Athens Santorini and the moneatari3s...please let me know how I can get that . Your videos are amazing
Hey Sebi. Love your channel and looking forward to seeing you soon. What are the restaurants you recommend in Pyrgos to watch the sunset?
"Pyrgos Restaurant" !! 100% !!
@@GreeceExplained Thanks Sebi.
Worried that after watching this video, all become tourist spots! haha
No one goes to Oia. It's too crowded 🙂 And hmm, yeah I LOVE those tips!
Omg I’m overwhelmed because it’s much bigger than I thought 😮 😞 I can’t do it all 😢
Hello Sebastian, Do you have any advice on where to see a beautiful sunrise? Maybe it's material for another video. thanks greetings
Kamari Beach, Perissa Beach and the Monastery of Profitis Ilias
Hi! Im a new suscriber love your videos! Which restaurant with sunset view would you recomend for late march? Thanks!
Naoussa in Fira
@@GreeceExplained Love your videos. Great tips. I'll be staying at Remvi, Firostefani in early October. They have a restaurant there. Is the sunset view there great? If not, where should I head to? Thanks.
@@skhoo54azelia Yes, great sunset view.
Gday mate, just saw the new update on your description in regards to the lighthouse being fenced off. Are you saying 2:13 to 2:15 that sunset spot is fully closed now?
If so, then where would be good for Akrotiri sunset view?
I confirm the secret spot at the lighthouse is fenced off. As an alternative in Akrotiri, I recommend this one : 36.36157013043534, 25.387711294925026
This video is so helpful! I was getting frustrated after checking out options online. I am not travelling on low budget, but I feel kinda cheated if I have to pay 100€ deposit for a sunset view table in Oia. From all the options, which one would you consider the BEST option when travelling with 60+ year old mum who gets sea sick at times and can't walk forever? :( I want to give her the experience but I also don't want to torture her with a long hike into the wilderness or/and go sailing. We are visiting mid-May.
Hey Eve ! I do a daily walking tour just outside of Oia at sunset time, and I bring you to a spot which would be ideal for your mother ! You can find it here : www.airbnb.com/experiences/3376813
@@GreeceExplained See you soon :D
t'as gardé un spot secret pour toi? je suis grec.. je trouve tes informations super local et cool!! keep going!
lol nonon tout est la :-p
@@GreeceExplained hahah. thnx for the videos
Can you do a video on sunrise? :) Thanks!
Probably not because the sun rises East, which is the much less interesting side of Santorini. Caldera Cliffs are facing West, that's why sunSETS are so iconic, and sunrises not really.
stay in Fira. Sunrise in the morning. Caldera sunset in the evening
Imagine the Sunset on Skaros Rock or the church below
Thank you for the tips!
If we will be at sunset at mavro vouno how would we go back to Fera? Is it safe to continue to oia at dark and take bus from there? Thanks!
Hey Vasili, yes totally safe to walk back down to Oia and then take a bus. After the sun sets, there's still 30min of twilight, which is more than enough to go down.
Hi. I've made reservation at Franco's Restaurant in Fira to watch the sunset because we have to rush to the airport for our flight back at 8.55pm. I hope I made the right move. What's your opinion of Franco's for sunsets?
The view is great ! Food, I dont know.
Hey. The coordonates for Saint Taxiarchis Church are good? Looks like google maps found it in the sea :(
Oh you're right ! Not sure what happened there. I've updated the coordinates, it should work now ;-)
I'm gonna be staying 3 days in Costa Grand in Kamari on oct 8-11. Travel agency did it for me. Can't change it now. Do you recommend renting a car to get to the spots you mentioned?
Yes I do :-)
We are coming to Santorini the first week in September with my parents who are both 81 what is the best sunset spot for them? My Mom cannot walk very far just a little. Thank you
Love your videos! Do you have any special recommendations for 81 year first time visitors? ❤😊
@@wendylaski144 where on Santorini are you staying?
Ve been at the Lighthouse yesterday.
The Spot You recommend is Not för public use anymore...
Correct. It's fenced off since April 2022. Just pinned a comment with this info so that everyone can see it. Thx for the input !
Hello , I am staying in a Oia hotel in June. What sunset cruise do you recommend? Should I book in advance? We are a party of 3.
Thanks

Is it good to visit Santorini in March?
Only Oia and Fira are (partially) open, the rest of the island only starts in May
We are heading there in end of March. I was hoping to visit the restaurant in Pyrgos that you have recommended. Penelope's Ouzeri. I hope they will be open.

Yes. You can contact me on instagram @sebi_the_guide or email me at sebitheguide@gmail.com

I am interested for hiking trip ...
Hey Marvi. @sebi_the_guide on instagram. Or sebitheguide@gmail.com
1:42....I see you are severely allergic to Oia :))))
Santorini Explained Palaia Kammeni doesn’t offer a spot?
From a private boat tour, sure !
@@GreeceExplained I made a mistake. It’s Θηρασία Island.
@@Rousseau4469 Thirassia island is facing East, so it has amazing sunRISES but sunsets not really.
