Most of our guests travel to Italy and Greece from the US by air, unless they are already traveling in a neighboring European country. There are direct flights from the US to Rome, Milan, and Athens, and layover flights to several other destinations in Italy and Greece, operated by United Airlines, ITA Airways, and others.

In Italy, Rome and Venice are great places to start, while in Greece, it would make sense to begin your journey in Athens, as this is where you’re more likely to fly into. In all three cities, you will have the chance to be greeted by locals, as we have expert staff based in Rome, Venice, and Athens. When it comes to saving time and planning the best route, rest assured that our travel advisors will help you pick the best flights for your itinerary. 

Deciding which destinations to add to your Italy and Greece honeymoon itinerary very much depends on your preferences. If you want to visit the most famous places, you shouldn’t miss Rome, Venice, Tuscany, and Cinque Terre in Italy, alongside Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete in Greece. However, if you want to take the road less traveled, we can craft an itinerary that includes some well-kept secrets, such as Puglia, Matera, or the Aeolian Islands in Italy, as well as the Peloponnese, Thessaloniki, and Naxos in Greece. 

Our Italy and Greece honeymoon vacation packages start from around $350 per person per day. The most significant sum is usually spent on accommodation, especially if you opt for luxury hotels, but private full-day tours, such as private boat trips, can increase the cost, too. All our sample itineraries have a Price Guide function to give you an idea of the cost for different levels of accommodation and the month of travel.

We can mix and match different levels of accommodation during your trip. In some more expensive destinations where you’ll be out enjoying day trips anyway, that’s a good place to make some savings. For some day trips, a small group option rather than a private one can be much cheaper, and sometimes an even better experience, as you’ll get the chance to meet like-minded travelers.

The best time of year for a perfect honeymoon in Italy and Greece largely depends on what you want to do and which places you plan to add to your Italy and Greece itinerary. In general, spring and fall are the optimal times to visit Italy and Greece to make the most of sunny days, mild temperatures, and somewhat fewer crowds. April, May, early June, late September, and October seem to be the ideal months for your Italy and Greece honeymoon. On the contrary, the summer months of July and August are the hottest, busiest, and most expensive months in Greece and Italy, so make sure you avoid them.

If two countries aren’t enough for your unforgettable honeymoon, we would recommend adding Croatia or France to your itinerary, depending on your preferences. For instance, many of our honeymooners can’t resist adding a few nights in Paris to their Italy and Greece honeymoon itinerary.

We can arrange rental cars for all or part of the trip, but keep in mind that dropping off a rental in another country incurs high one-way fees, and within the same country, there are still some one-way fees to be considered. Your JayWay trip planner can arrange for separate rentals where needed. This way, you can avoid unnecessary expenses and have the freedom to get around by car when you need to.

Absolutely. Our vacation packages are customized to your wishes. You don’t have to fill every day, and we encourage leaving some time aside simply to appreciate the destinations you’re visiting. Finding a secret spot to enjoy a glass of prosecco in Venice or trying authentic Greek food at a small restaurant in Athens that mostly locals know of are probably some of the moments that can render your Italy and Greece honeymoon all the more memorable.
