Short answer: go to Logas Beach for a west-facing beach sunset (busy, steep path), or to Cape Drastis for a cliff-top view (limited parking, unlit path). Arrive early and leave before it is fully dark.
Logas Beach
The beach faces west, and the sun sets behind the Diapontia islands. Reports say it fills up near sunset; parking is on the cliffs above and the path down is steep without proper steps (Expedia, 2026-11-08). Details are on the Logas Beach page.
Cape Drastis
The cape is described as having a breathtaking sunset (allovergreece.com). Parking is very limited, the track to the viewpoints is gravel, and there are no barriers at the cliff edges. See how to see Cape Drastis and safety.
Practical plan
- Both spots need a car or a taxi; there is no evening bus we could verify.
- Bring a torch for the walk back; the cape path is unlit.
- Bring your own water: we could not confirm a shop at the cape or the beach.
Stay close to the sunset
Peroulades is the closest village to both spots. It is smaller than Sidari and best with a car; Sidari is about 3 km east and has more rooms (our opinion).
Frequently asked questions
Where is the best place to watch the sunset near Sidari?
Logas Beach faces west and the sun sets behind the Diapontia islands, but it is busy near sunset. Cape Drastis is a cliff-top alternative if you can handle the gravel path and the dark walk back.
When should I arrive for the sunset?
Check the sunset time for your date and arrive well before it, because parking is limited at both spots and the paths are unlit afterwards.
