A place that offers panoramic views of the vast beautiful sea with the sun setting over the waters is worth to stop by when you are in Santorini. Akrotiri Lighthouse area is one such place. A hike along a rocky hill will lead you to the lighthouse which is actively used even to this day. Once you are at the top, you meet a sight that is simply magnificent. The sea stretches as far as your eyes can reach while there is that cliff with beautiful, rare flowers that tend to grow only in the wild. You can just sit on the cliff for hours together letting the tranquility of the place wash over you. The lighthouse is simple in construction and is barred from entrance since it is still being used. Make a stop at this place on an evening to watch the mesmerizing sunset.
