Simply, to watch the Sunset is almost de rigueur. Indeed! They wait for sunset at the beautiful and touristy, Oia, on the island of Thira (Santorini) in Greece.
Oia is one of the foremost tourist attractions of the Aegean Sea. Beautiful and photographic sunset is the specialty of Oia, which gives feast to our eyes. The prominent Oia sunset, is considered as one of the most beautiful in the world.
Tourists flock down to the Castle, waiting for the moment, when the sun slips down on the peaceful sea of the Caldera. If you ask the returning tourists, they used to say that the fishing docks at Oia are the oldest continually used docks in the world, allegedly being in the service for 3000 years. You can enjoy the long view of the setting sun just by taking a boat charters from the docks at Thira. Oia has shot in many movies like “Summer Lovers”, “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”, etc.
