Oia (pronounced Eea) is at one end of the amazing island of Santorini. It is the most popular destinations on the island with absolutely thousands of tourists crammed into it's narrow streets and laneways. The classic view of the blue domes had a line which would have taken more than an hour to get through to the end if i had waited. Instead I went to one of the lookouts and took a couple of quick photos. It was hot and extremely frustrating watching all those selfies being taken by people who seemed not to understand the number of people also waiting. In other places the bars were full and the views over the caldera sparkling and beautiful.
The take-away message is get to Oia early ( 8am) and I have no idea what sunset was like.
Santorini has decided that 3 cruise ships a day is the limit ( though the ships are trying to buck that). But it is a most uncomfortable place due to numbers.
Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. In the interests of full disclosure, I did not take this photo, which I believe is in the public domain. If not, I will be glad to attribute it to the photographer and/or remove it. I did enhance the image with Topaz Simplify and Picasa. The problem is that this is such an iconic image, that thousands of tourists have taken similar photos from virtually the same perspective. In any event, Santorini reminds me of several of my favorite movies, including "Zorba the Greek," "Never on Sunday," and "A Man Could Get Killed." Anthony Quinn was Zorba, and Greek actress Melina Mercouri starred in the latter two movies.

Famous Sunset, Santorini, Greece. The sunset in Santorini is unique and beautiful. This series was from my freelance travel project in Greece 2016.
There are a lot of cruise ships around Santorini, but they are rarely in a position where you can get the sunset shot.
Santorini is not just sunsets. On the right, the village of Oia (Ia) is way over-lit compared to the small village on Thirasia Island on the left.
