Sunset Time in Santorini

The sun sets here at a different time every single day, and across 2026 the moment shifts by three and a half hours. Below are the exact sunrise, sunset and daylight figures for all 365 days, so you can time a table, a walk to the caldera or a boat around the real number rather than a rough one. If you are planning something around one of these evenings, tell us the date.

Still choosing between months? Light is only one part of it. Our weather guide covers wind, heat and crowds for every month of the year.

Weather by season

Reading the numbers

What the times do and do not tell you

Sunset is the horizon, not the cliff

These figures are calculated for a flat sea horizon at Santorini's coordinates. Santorini is not flat. Standing on the caldera rim you are looking west over open water, so the published time is close to what you will see. Standing anywhere with land between you and the west, on the eastern side of the island or below the rim, the sun disappears behind terrain earlier than the table says.

Treat the number as the moment the sun meets the sea, then adjust for whatever is in front of you. For how to fill the hours before it, see our guide to things to do in Santorini.

Why 45 minutes early

The "seated by" column subtracts 45 minutes from sunset. It follows the advice of an Oia restaurant that plans its service around the view: book about forty five minutes before sunset so you are seated as the sky begins to turn.

It is a booking convention rather than an astronomical value. Adjust it to what you are doing. A walk needs less margin. A table with a specific view needs more. Our roundup of the best restaurants in Santorini is the place to start if the evening centres on dinner.

The latest sunset is not the longest day

The two do not land together. The longest days of 2026 are 22 and 23 June, at 14h 38m of daylight each, but the latest sunset is 20:41 on 30 June, a week after that. Winter mirrors it: the earliest sunset is 8 December, while the shortest day does not arrive until 23 December.

If your evening depends on light rather than on daylight hours, the end of June is the part of the year to aim for. Light is only half the decision, though. Wind, heat and crowds all move independently of it, which our Santorini weather guide by season covers month by month.

Two nights the clock jumps

Greece keeps Eastern European Time in winter and Eastern European Summer Time in the warmer months. In this table the change forward lands between 29 and 30 March, and the change back between 25 and 26 October, each shifting sunset by a full hour overnight.

Those two weekends are the only dates on this page worth confirming against an official source before you commit to a booking. Every other date is unaffected.

Deciding where to stand? Not every viewpoint on the island faces the sunset. Our guide covers the ones that do, and how early each one fills.

Best sunset spots

What the evening is for

Building something around one of these sunsets

The time is the easy part. What usually decides the evening is where you stand, how long you have before the light goes, and how much has to be in place beforehand. These are the occasions we set up most often.

Proposals

A proposal timed to the light

Golden hour is short and the caldera viewpoints fill early, so the setup has to be finished before you arrive rather than while you wait. Start with our wedding proposal service.

Also useful: how to plan the perfect proposal, the 10 best places to propose, and which proposal package suits you.

Honeymoons

Honeymoon evenings

Sunset is the fixed point most honeymoon days end up organised around, and in high summer it lands late enough to change how the whole day runs. See our honeymoon service.

Also useful: the complete Santorini honeymoon guide.

Anniversaries

Marking the date you already have

An anniversary fixes the date for you, so the table above does the rest of the work: find your day, take the sunset time, and plan backwards from it. See our anniversary service.

Birthdays

A birthday that ends facing west

Winter birthdays get an early sunset, which suits a celebration that starts at dusk rather than after dark. Summer ones run past 20:00. See our birthday service.

Tell us the date and we will plan backwards from it. When the setup has to be finished, when you need to be in position, and how much light is left afterwards.

Questions

The things people ask before booking

What time does the sun set in Santorini in summer?

Late June is the peak: sunset reaches 20:41 on 30 June, the latest of the year. Through July it slips back gradually, from 20:41 on 1 July to 20:27 on 31 July. August loses roughly another 35 minutes, ending at 19:51. By the end of September it is 19:07.

And in winter?

The earliest sunset of the year is 17:04 on 8 December. December barely varies: every single sunset that month falls between 17:04 and 17:12. January is similar at the start and then lengthens quickly, reaching 17:42 by the 31st.

How fast does sunset move from one day to the next?

It is not steady, and it is not symmetrical. At the end of June sunset changes by a second or two a day, which is why the curve looks flat there. The fastest stretch of the whole year is the second half of September, when it pulls back by 1 minute 31 seconds every single day, enough that a week of difference in your dates moves sunset by more than ten minutes. Late March is slower than people assume, at roughly 52 seconds a day, or six minutes across a week.

Are these times the same everywhere on the island?

Effectively yes. Santorini is small enough that the difference between one end and the other is a matter of seconds, well inside the minute shown here. What genuinely changes between Oia, Fira, Imerovigli and the eastern beaches is what stands between you and the western horizon, not the clock. Our guide to the 10 best places to propose in Santorini goes through which spots actually face the sunset.

How accurate are these numbers?

They are published astronomical times rounded down to the minute. Comparing two independent sources for the same dates gives answers about two to three minutes apart, because each calculates for a slightly different point on the island. Plan to the minute if you like, but treat anything inside a five minute window as the same moment. If a setup depends on being exact, send us your date and we will work to it.
