1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #456 - Oia sunset, Santorini

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #456

- Oia sunset, Santorini

(They say this could be the most stunning sunset in the world. Where? At Oia, at the northern tip of the main island of Santorini. And goodness, it wasn't a frivolous claim at all. We got here a good 3 hours before the anticipated sunset time of 8.40pm. And the crowd was already building up, even at the early hours. By 7pm, almost all clear vantage points have been taken up. The scene here, with the famous windmill in the foreground was electric, as the crowd hold their collective breath as the sun dropped closer to the horizon.  We couldn't ask for a better finale - the cruiseship heading straight for the sun added drama to this 'painting' that can only be crafted by the Heavens - wow! See the timelapse video below)
