We were not told (neither in the confirmation email nor in the bar itself at arrival) that the fee was at least 25 euro/person no matter if we drank/ate for less than this value (so if you order a glass of wine you still need to pay 25 euros). The table was facing the islands and not the sunset. The wine bottle was very low quality (price of 55 euro)! We were not given a table near our friends so we had to split. You can see better sunsets in any other spot free of charge. Nothing went well, definitely not recommended.

You’d think that paying the prices they charge for their drinks, you’d get a decent unobstructed view of the sunset. This is not the case however!
My wife booked us a front row seat for sunset time. There is a minimum spend of €25 per person. Believe me, it won’t be hard to reach that minimum spend as the prices are high.
We had a good seat right at the front on the lower floor. Beautiful view of the inevitable sunset. This was case until a never ending train of wannabe Instagram influencers stood directly in front of us so they could get the same picture taken around 100 times!
The one member of staff they had catering for the lower bar just stood there and watched them. He did try to tell a couple of people to move on but sadly it was an unachievable task due to the number of oncoming “models” just wanting that perfect picture.
If I was to ever return to Oia for sunset, I’d do what I saw a couple do. They bought themselves a couple of €2 cans of cider from the local market and stood there in front of the bar and watched the sunset. I mean, fair play to them. Me and my wife were the ones who were paying €16 for a small G&T and €7 for a 250ml Coke but they were the ones with the better view and most definitely the least stressed.
I wouldn’t recommend this bar to anyone unless you enjoy staring at the back of peoples heads as they gaze lovingly into the sunset.

The place has a nice view especially to enjoy the sunset but cocktails are not good and really expensive (44€ for two bites of cheese and two aperol spritz). Staff is rude they barely speak to you. we have been forced to eat cheese with hands asking with no success 3 times for paper towels! we waited 20’ for our drinks! They run when you ask for the bill indeed. Poor experience in such a great place!!! They treat well only greek people…kinda no-tourists-please place.

Great place to view the sunset in Oia. There was a €25 minimum spend per person, which we were advised about when booking. However having arrived at 7.15 it wasn’t an issue for us, a couple of cocktails and you can soon spend in excess of that. Service was good & quick, Martin (No.1) was extremely attentive (as were the rest of the staff) and we had no issues in getting drinks.

They requested 50 euros, to be paid in advance, to reserve a seat in the front row and be able to enjoy the sunset (with the only reservation possible to watch the sunset at 6.30pm). In reality the place did not actually overlook the sea, there was an alley with a low wall in front, full of tourists and people from outside who passed by to take photos, completely blocking the view of the caldera. The icing on the cake: zero shade on all seats in the front row. I strongly advise against it.

Guys, think what you like, but it's absurd to pay a minimum of €150 per person to sit and watch the sunset. Also because 100m ahead there is the mill where you can admire a fantastic sunset for free. It's just the whim of having a drink, but is it really worth it?

Whatever you consume you are charged 25€ PER PERSON! Even if you have 10€ each. This is the Award for seeing a sunset with a crowd in front, unkind waiters, cocktails no better than anywhere else. A scam that is more a Monney Spirit than a Sun Spirit scam.

Very nice place, but being forced to spend 50 euros for two completely watered down drinks seems excessive. If the cocktails had been good I would have spent them willingly ... but unfortunately it was not! 30 euro cheese plate with 4 breadsticks, a few pieces of cheese and some grapes (out of season) and tomatoes... sorry but not recommended!

Very nice place, booking in advance gives you the opportunity to watch the sunset from an enviable perspective. When booking online they ask for a deposit of €50 which will then be deducted from the total consumption. Friendly staff. Recommended place!

This place is a bit crowded right before sunset. The staff is very nice but they are a bit busy during sunset so it might take a little bit longer for them to get to you. Overall, it was a great experience for us.
