DutchUncle Posted September 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2014 We will be in Santorini on 21 Oct from 1:30-1000. Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations, with a view of course? Should we make reservations? We are the only cruise ship in port that day, so hopefully not too crowded. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.O.cruisers Posted September 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm on the same ship. I did a search a while back and I found that sunset will be at 6:35pm that night. Look for a restaurant in Fira so that you have time to get down to the tender boat in time. I'm also considering having dinner but I haven't made a reservation anywhere yet.

Mercury Posted September 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) I've searched Trip advisor and found that this restaurant (Aegialos) on Fira beach comes highly recommended: http://www.tripadvisor.co.za/Restaurant_Review-g7038713-d2194871-Reviews-Aegialos-Exo_Gialos_Fira_Santorini_Cyclades.html Edited September 19, 2014 by Mercury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburgher Posted September 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2014 We were there this summer with a later sailaway (and a much later sunset too as it was summer) We could easily see the sunset from our anchor position off Thira/Fira but there are several anchor positions. We had been in the same one all day, the other ships having sailed late afternoon or early evening. There was a deck party that evening and a local group of musicians and dancers also performed. We could also see dusk then darkness fall and the lights gradually coming on in Thira/Fira opposite us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted September 20, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Sometimes it is fun to be a contrarian..and so we shall be :). DW and I have been to Santorini many times including quite a few sunsets. You will hear all the stuff about the beautiful sunsets in Oia (true) and beautiful sunsets in Fira (not quite as good as Oia) but we think the best sunset we ever saw was in neither of those places. It was from the upper deck (in the hot tub) on the original Star Princess. We had returned to the ship (many years ago) and were enjoying the hot tub during sunset time. As the sun was setting, the way the light played along the cliffs of Santorini was absolutely breathtaking. Totally blew away the views we have enjoyed from the island itself.

RJHNorthyorks Posted September 20, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2014 We watched the sunset last month from the ocean view cafe on Celebrity Reflection. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stampinscrapdiva Posted September 29, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 29, 2014 We will be on there as well but this is our FIRST cruise so I am still attempting to get listed on the Roll Call. I saw that there was a chance for a balcony view sunset massage with champagne but wasn't sure if it was worth the extra or exactly when sunset would be, so thanks for the info. :) We are Julie And Tim Eells from the Portland, OR area. Hope to meet up with all of you at some point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
