Spectacular sunsets makes Oia a favourite destination of visitors to Santorini. Many of these tourists try to beat the crowds by finding a place to view this spectacular event on the old fortress or around the windmill, as depicted by the pictures to the right, some are even there 2 hours before the sun starts to approach the horizon, where the sea meets the sky.

The other pictures seen here, try to show the spectacular colours seen as the sun sinks into the sea.

The view from Oia during the day is just as spectacular due to the high cliffs, clear blue water, and volcano in the middle, from the panorama below.
