Whether you’re an off-the-beaten-track trekker, a family of thrill seekers, or simply one who sips cocktails by the coast – every holidaymaker will agree, there’s something magical about a picturesque sunset.
The legendary Café Mambo in San Antonio, Ibiza, has long been hailed as Europe’s go-to sunset spot, but there are plenty of lesser-known destinations just as good for travellers to enjoy.
Jet2holidays, the UK’s leading tour operator to destinations across the Mediterranean has compiled its top picks of the best European sunset vistas to rival Ibiza’s famous sunset strip.
From the picturesque city of Paphos to the sun-drenched island of Sicily, Jet2holidays has an unbeatable choice of destinations across Europe to savour the most sensational, sun-downer scenes.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Croatia’s Dalmatian coast provides countless spots for travellers to enjoy the sunset after a long day at the beach. The ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, Dubrovnik is one of the most magnificent walled cities in the world. Perhaps best known for its distinctive Old Town, this beautiful city also boasts an unbeatable sunset spot from the top of Mount Srd.
Visitors can take a cable car to the summit to snap a photo and admire the view over dinner and drinks.
Paphos, Cyprus
Set on the southwestern coast of Cyprus, Paphos has something for everyone to enjoy.
The sun-soaked city combines all the family fun of a beach town with a wealth of history and archaeology that culture-lovers will adore. Sunset seekers can venture south to Petra tou Romiou, said to be the birthplace of the Greek goddess of love.
Legend has it that those who lap Aphrodite’s Rock three times will be blessed with eternal beauty, true love and good luck. Bring a picnic, lounge on the beach and watch the sun go down over the crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Sicily, Italy
Sicily’s seductive beauty has been luring travellers since time immemorial. Its mountainous landscape – complete with Europe’s highest active volcano – provides plenty of vantage points to enjoy a Sicilian sunset. For a truly unique experience, head over to the island’s western coast and watch the sun go down from the majestic Scala dei Turchi, one of the best beaches in the world.
Santorini, Greece
No list would be complete without the picture-perfect island of Santorini. Nestled in the Aegean Sea and famed for its dazzling panoramas, it’s clear why this Grecian paradise is a mainstay on many travellers’ bucket lists.
The perfect island holiday destination for couples, friends, and families alike, with a host of sandy beaches, taverna-lined promenades and awe-inspiring sunsets. Head to the Old Castle in the coastal village of Oia for breath-taking views of the sun as it descends over the Sea of Crete.
