Dealing with the crowded sunset on Oia

[axariotisxy]

I tried to see the sunset on Oia - I was only there for a day. It was sooo crowded it was nuts.

I do want to give Santorini another chance but I need help finding a different sunset spot. I ended up watching the sunset by a dumpster - and it felt good enough.

I just don't know what to do - there was NO WAY I was going to be able to see it in Oia with how many people there were.

I once stayed in a hotel on the caldera, and my room was pointed at the west and had a beautiful patio. Saw the sunset on my terms every night without crowds! Maybe try to stay in a place like this?

That's an excellent tip - I wish I had thought of that!
