In Pursuit of Sunsets …

I had read that the sunsets over Santorini’s caldera are the most beautiful in the world, so my goal during our recent visit to Santornini was to enjoy great dinners in search of beautiful sunsets. I achieved my goal … enjoy!

Night 1: View from Rastoni Restaurant, Firo, Santorini, Greece2016-06-27 19.10.55

We had the best table in the house, thanks to the concierge at El Greco Resort, a table for eight at the rail overlooking the water with a direct view of the sunset.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Night 2: View from Pelikanos Restaurant, Oia, Santorini, Greece 2016-06-28 20.16.06

Tonight’s table was against the wall, and the sunset was challenged by a hazy, cloudy atmosphere, but we still enjoyed a fabulous meal with a stunning sunset.

 

 

 

Night 3: View from Argo Restaurant, Firo, Santorini, Greece IMG_1091

Wow! When we checked in at El Greco Resort, our first stop was the concierge desk to request reservations to view the sunset all three night. She said her top recommendation was Argo, but it was difficult to get same day reservations for the sunset. Hindsight 20/20, I’m so glad this was our last night, the best sunset, the best meal.
