It was too crowded in Oia's sunset too..In the end there was a big applause from the crowd!

It was very peaceful in late April 2011 (got year wrong earlier!) - we took a picnic and bottle of wine to the little church on the far side of Skaros Rock at Imerovigli, watched the sunset, and didn't see a soul... a photo on the return to our hotel that night (taken with a Stylus 5010 P&S) is on the back cover of our photobook:

Santorini is truly a magical place! We stayed our last few nights there at this place, and can highly recommend it for a way to get the amazing view without the price ($35 euro/night for a large 1br suite!) - just walk across the road to see it. Our view was over vineyards down to the ocean, but it was a few minutes walk to the 300+ /night places on the other side of the road. We were there for the Easter weekend, and the sight of fireworks across the island was spectacular from our patio, and we came back to fresh Easter treats left by the hosts on Sunday.
