sunset
Oia's sunset is world famous and tourists flock to Oia every afternoon to experience it. A round of applause goes up from the edge of the village as the sun touches the fire-red waters of the Aegean in the west. At Ikies traditional houses, at a distance from the bustle of the sunset-viewers, our fully-furnished private terraces, perched on the rim of Santorini's famous caldera, afford our guests stunning views all day long - the volcanic islets seemingly floating on the caldera's morning mist, other Cycladic islands appearing as if anchored in the distant Aegean, the setting sun bathing the picturesque village of Oia in its red-orange light and the dark dome of the night sky specked with millions of stars
