Greece Honeymoons 101: You won’t find “all-inclusive” resorts here like the Caribbean. Part of the magic of Greece is discovering amazing local restaurants and activities together. Our team creates customized plans that can include as many curated meals and excursions as you wish.
Athens: The Historical Gateway
Most Greek Island honeymoons begin in Athens, the historical capital of Europe. We recommend a night or two here to experience:
The Acropolis: A must-see highlight dating back to the Neolithic age.
Rooftop Dining: A signature “must-do” dinner with views of the illuminated Acropolis.
The Plaka District: The essential shopping area.
Day Trips: Visit Delphi (believed to be the center of the earth) or Cape Sounion.
Santorini: The World’s Most Romantic Island (A Must-See!)
We often tell couples: “Do not leave Greece without seeing Santorini!” It is the highlight of the trip.
The island, shaped by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, offers some of the finest, most luxurious accommodations and exquisite caldera views in all of Greece.
The Villages:
Oia (Luxury & Privacy): The top recommendation for privacy and views. The whitewashed cave houses stretch to the ruins of the castle—the most incredible place to watch the sunset. Oia is worth the splurge!
Fira (Bustling & Budget-Friendly): Fira is the capital, busiest village, and cruise ship port. It has the most nightlife and is ideal for couples on a tighter budget.
Imerovigli (Quiet Luxury): A quaint village known for having the best sunset views, situated higher than Fira with great hotel hideaways.
Expert Tip: The 2-hour hike from Fira to Oia is one of the best activities in Santorini and should not be missed
Mykonos: The Jet Setter & Party Island
Mykonos is known for its summer party atmosphere, stunning beaches, and iconic 16th-century windmills.
Nightlife: High-end dance clubs with world-renowned DJs that stay open well past dawn.
Culture: Take a boat trip to the uninhabited ancient island of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis.
Paros: The Underrated Gem
Our honeymooners often name Paros as their favorite island over Santorini or Mykonos! It offers a unique charm you won’t find on the busier islands. Paros is best for couples who love beautiful beaches and quaint villages.
Beaches & Coves: Explore the 120km of coastline, including Kolimbithres beach with its naturally sculpted rock formations.
Villages: Visit the picturesque fishing harbor of Naoussa Town and the historic, bougainvillea-covered streets of Antiparos.
Naxos: The Greenest Island
Just an hour ferry from Mykonos, Naxos is mountainous with green valleys and is perfect for couples who want a quieter, greener escape. It offers beautiful, exotic beaches just minutes from traditional villages.
