OVERVIEW
Anyone who has never been to Santorini is living under the false impression that all sunsets on this great planet are more or less the same. The earth rotates, the sun moves around in the sky, the pretty colors happen somehow (#science) etc. etc. All of that changes when you see a sunset over the Aegean on this island; a sunset so spectacular it will literally take your breath away. Of course the best way to experience this life changing event is with a delicious cocktail. So, here is the list of the best sunset bars in Santorini.
