Santorini tops the ranking of the world’s destinations with the most photographed sunsets in the world, compiled by the travel experts of Titan Travel.
In particular, the famous Greek island is in second place, with 157,745 sunset photos. According to the publication, the island’s famous whitewashed, cube-shaped houses are most picturesque when they have a sunset background.
“From the capital Fira, sunset lovers can observe the active volcanic island of Nea Kameni along with sunset views, while Oia is the most popular spot for tourists to take sunset photos, overlooking the town’s blue-domed churches,” Titan Travel said.
According to the travel agency, Santorini also ranks as the spot with the most sunset views on TikTok, with 70.2 million views.
Topping the list, with 182,661 Instagram posts, is Bali, an Indonesian island long known for its surf, beaches, waterfalls and spiritual atmosphere.
According to Titan Travel, “the best locations to watch the sunsets in Bali are the beaches along its western coastline, with views that often include historic temples, making the golden panoramas of the island’s setting sun even more memorable.”
Number 3 and 4 on the list are also islands – Ibiza and Maui – followed by a number of cities. Interestingly, the US had the most places in the ranking, with Maui, San Diego, Key West and Seattle making the list.
