Average Guest Rating 5.0 / 5

Celebrate your love in Greece, a country ranked as one of the most romantic destinations in the world. This sample 10-day (9 nights) honeymoon itinerary guarantees postcard-worthy views of whitewashed houses and churches, spectacular sunsets, countless breathtaking beaches, and infinite blue. A unique opportunity to soak in the majestic energy of Santorini with its soaring cliffs, sail in the turquoise blue waters of the Aegean Sea while admiring the immense natural beauty of the landscape, created by the volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago.
On your Greece honeymoon, you will playfully enjoy the warm summer days that slowly linger into the sweet summer nights as you dine in traditional Greek tavernas with your toes touching the sand while you sip on the crisp locally produced wine. The moment you set foot on Mykonos your playful-carefree spirit will make its appearance as you are drawn in by the island’s extravagant lifestyle scene. Mykonos is truly a one-of-a-kind destination and home to some of the best beach clubs and luxury hotels in the world. If you are seeking to combine culture with relaxation, a trip to the renowned archaeological site of Delos - the birthplace of the god of light Apollo, is just a short boat ride away. Your magical honeymoon in Greece itinerary will also take you to Europe’s oldest capital - Athens, where a few more memorable days will be packed with everlasting memories.
One of our local team members will be available to you leading up to and during your trip to answer any questions and arrange local services. You will receive access to your Guest Page, with its information on the best these destinations have to offer, including things to see and do, and other inside tips from restaurant recommendations to tipping advice.

In all of our destinations, we offer a variety of memorable 3-5 star accommodation options, including boutique hotels, charming B&Bs, and spacious apartments. With our first hand experience, we can ensure they are all clean, comfortable, and centrally located, with local ambience.

3 Nights in Santorini

3 Nights in Santorini

“Intelligent adults come here and turn into infants,” Craig Walzer, owner of the Atlantis Bookstore. Santorini is every traveler's dream. The whitewashed houses and blue domed churches perched atop of soaring cliffs, the narrow cobblestone streets and unsurpassed views of crystal-clear blue waters -- these all greet you as you step foot on this fairytale land. Intertwining myth and reality, Santorini is every bit as beautiful as the countless postcards, magazine covers, and Instagram photos claim. The village of Oia is world-famous for its sunset, where thousands of spectators line up every evening to witness the magic as the sun bids farewell to the sky and the canvas lights up in fierce hues. Fortunately, the sunset can be enjoyed from much of the rest of this crescent-shaped island. Santorini is also home to Akrotiri, the Greek take on Pompeii. Inhabited since Neolithic times, this city was built up by the Minoans, a seafaring civilization that predated the ancient Greeks, only to be destroyed in the catastrophic eruption that shaped Santorini, which forms part of a massive volcanic caldera. Covered in ashes for millennia, Akrotiri is still being uncovered. We suggest visiting the neighboring center of the caldera, where you can enjoy hot springs, visit the volcanic crater, and enjoy stunning views of Santorini itself. Santorini’s unique ecology, climate and volcanic ash soil paved the way for a flourishing wine industry. Its indigenous varietals will make your stay even more enjoyable.

3 Nights in Mykonos

3 Nights in Mykonos

Although Mykonos is mainly known for its glamorous nightlife and summer beach party scene, which has made it the center of attention among the world’s most affluent travelers and celebrities, who come to the island to enjoy its nights, the island has managed to preserve its historical charm. Mykonos’s unique architecture has long been a source of inspiration for architects, photographers and designers across the globe. The island’s architectural diversity and history are reflected in the hundreds of whitewashed churches and monasteries which are scattered across its barren landscape, the imposing windmills that once played a crucial role in the island’s economy, and its colorful pirate houses, which point to its turbulent past. Apart from the famed beaches that make headlines for their extravagant champagne parties and prices, there are plenty of natural, quieter beaches to savor and explore. Those looking to escape crowds can also find their paradise on Mykonos. Foodies find much to adore in the island's flavors, aromas, and sights. The island caters to the most discerning palates -- from dining in family-owned beach tavernas with your toes touching the sand, to renowned international establishments serving award-winning cuisine, or indulging on freshly grilled seafood prepared by a private chef on a secluded beach.

After the Sun Sets

Suggestion to explore on your own

Mykonos famously offers a wide variety of places where you can please your partying soul. During peak season, Mykonos doesn’t sleep. The beach superclubs such as Cavo Paradiso, Super Paradise and Paradise Club attract DJs from around the world, with parties running from the afternoon until dawn. If you'd prefer more a relaxed evening, visit Little Venice, a district in Mykonos' Chora (old town) famous for its gorgeous whitewashed houses with balconies hanging above the sea. During the day, have lunch in one of the waterfront restaurants, stroll through the streets, go shopping in the boutiques or browse the art galleries. At night, enjoy a glass of wine or premium cocktail in one of the many bars. Our personal favorite spot for an evening drink is the 180Degrees Sunset Bar above the town of Mykonos. Don't forget to come early, at least one hour before the sunset. You won't regret it!

3 Nights in Athens

3 Nights in Athens

Although it's hard to not keep craning your head to take in the spectacle of the Acropolis at the center of town (especially when it's lit up at night), there's more to Athens than its dense concentration of ancient ruins. Athens is a center for contemporary art, with modern galleries sitting beside museums stuffed with art dating back millennia. This combination of the old and new is especially clear at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a spectacular open-air theater that has hosted concerts and plays for nearly 2,000 years. The city's culture is also reflected in its diverse food and drink, which combines traditional Greek favorites with influences from across the Mediterranean, and the world, as fitting Athens' deep history as a humming harbor hub. While Athens' variety is enough to keep you busy, from the hidden back alleys of the center, to the city's showy coast, the city works well as a base for day trips, whether down the coast, or to the Peloponnese. Head to oracular Delphi, or hunt for where Lord Byron's carved his name into the monumental Temple of Poseidon at the tip of Cape Sounion.

Day 7

Day 7 - Arrival in Athens

Upon arrival at the port of Piraeus, you'll be met by a driver and taken to your centrally located accommodations in Athens.

Love at First Sight

Suggestion to explore on your own

Taking advantage of the opportunity for views of the Acropolis shining in the night, Athens has plenty of rooftop venues, which have become popular hubs for nightlife among locals. One of our favorite rooftop bars is POINT a - the only bar that provides views of both the Acropolis and the modern elegant lines of the Acropolis Museum, lit beautifully at night. POINT a has a relaxed vibe and Greek cuisine with a twist. It’s perfect for couples and even families or groups of friends. If you happen to stay around the Monastiraki District, you should definitely visit A for Athens, a popular venue among locals. Hytra and GB Roof Garden are full-on luxury restaurants and bars that perfectly provide romantic evenings. We guarantee that if you spend your first night dining at one of those places, you will quickly fall in love with the mind-blowing views and lively city.
