Postcard sunset of Santorini

The magical sunset of Santorini was ranked at the sixth place of the list of the most beautiful summer sunsets in the world, according  to the prestigious National Geographic magazine. As the article describes, the sunset in Santorini is just a giant postcard. As the sun starts to slip below into the Aegean Sea, the sky all around the traditional village and castle of Oia, on the very northern tip of the island of Santorini, gives itself over from the day’s magnificent blue to crimson to…every sunset color imaginable.
And although it is a popular spot that is often crowded, once that color starts to break out, you won’t notice. It is breathtaking.
