Looking for the best spot to watch an incredible sunset? We've taken the guesswork out of it with our pick of the best sunsets in the Mediterranean!

There’s something pretty special about a sunset. When the sun dips down and washes away the day, ready to welcome in dusk and what the night has to bring.

This magnificent change from day to night is ten fold when the sun dips into the ocean, which is so often the case in the Mediterranean.

This part of the world is well known for its painted skies at dusk, with some sunsets being so iconic people flock from all over the world and applaud the sun for it’s magical show once it’s over.
