Sunset times for weddings in Santorini in November
Saturday sunsets in November 2027 fall between 5:06 pm and 5:19 pm. Mid-month, that is 94 minutes earlier than in October. The caldera faces west, so cliff-top venues see the sun all the way down to the sea — and so does everyone else, which makes sunset spots busy.
