2Profitis Ilias Mountain

For the ultimate panoramic sunset, head to the highest point in Santorini—Profitis Ilias Mountain, which rises nearly 600 meters above sea level. The monastery at the summit provides sweeping views across the entire island, from the caldera to the vineyards and villages below.

Because it requires a drive or hike to reach, this spot sees fewer tourists than the more accessible towns. Watching the island glow beneath you as the sun disappears is a humbling experience that combines natural beauty with a sense of tranquility rarely found in the busier areas.
