Where To Stay In Greece?

Apart from the big hitters like Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, and Corfu, here are some hidden gems that you can venture to:

Syros

For those who seek out a slice of Greek bliss without the crowds, one of your best bets lies in lovely little Syros.

Paxos

One of the tiniest Ionian islands, Paxos packs a big punch. It has the perfect balance of seclusion and sophistication for a honeymoon

Crete

Greece's largest island, the birthplace of Zeus, Crete has ancient ruins, snow-capped peaks, and beaches galore. Sunshine is pretty much guaranteed year-round, but spring is especially lovely for rambling and sightseeing.

Kos

If thriving nightlife is your vibe, Kos is the best place in Greece. The second most popular Dodecanese Island after Rhodes, Kos is a lively island famed for its abundance of sandy beaches and exciting nightlife.

Naxos

Naxos is famed for its miles and miles of sandy beaches. You can ride horses across the beach at Plaka and explore Naxos's many pretty, sleepy villages like Chora and Halki.

Rhodes

Rhodes has reinvented itself as one of Greece's top travel destinations. The big draw is the medieval citadel in Rhodes Town - stroll along the battlements and you'll spy Byzantine churches, Roman ruins, synagogues, and minarets

Skiathos

If you just want to chill, drink, and honeymoon in the sun, Skiathos is the perfect place for it. The picturesque location of Mamma Mia, this island is known for powder-soft sandy beaches, shopping and laid-back vibe

Must Visit Spots

Fira & Hot Springs

Explore Fira and take an excursion to the Volcano & Hot Springs. You also should not miss Oia while in Santorini!

Delos Island

Cruise over to the tiny island of Delos from Mykonos, an archaeological sanctuary that once thronged with 30,000 sun worshippers. The temple is dedicated to Apollo, the Greek god of light.

Volcanic rocks of Lemnos

Check out the volcanic rocks of Lemnos. The rocks are volcanic formations that occurred when the lava reached the sea and look similar to the bubbles that form in bread right before they burst. So unique!

Yacht Ride

If you are looking to splurge, book a yacht and cruise through the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea basking in the glory of magical moments of your honeymoon.

Lighthouse Love

Check out the Tourlitis Lighthouse in Andros. Perched on a spindly rock spire in a Greek archipelago, this lighthouse has a gorgeous view!

Valley Of Butterflies

The valley of butterflies in summer is such a delightful experience. This 600-acre nature park with walking trails & benches offers a summer home for many butterflies in Rhodes.

Must Try Things

Do an island-hopping trip if you do not want to stay in multiple places. Pick a zone, say the Ionian Islands or the Dodecanese, and get around by chugging between ports on ubiquitous ferries. If you love a sailboat, charter and sail on your own.

If you are an adventure junkie, climb up the stone spires of Meteora. Remember the backdrop for Eyrie in Game of Thrones? This is that place!

The sunset catamaran cruise in Santorini is an absolute delight!

WMG Tips

If you don’t speak Greek, make sure you travel with a smartphone or translation book that can help you communicate. While most speak English, it may not be the case everywhere.

Try the local food in Greece – don’t stick to just famous restaurants. They are famous for their cuisine for a reason so try out the local dishes.

Best time to visit: Spring (April to June) or Fall (September to November). Be careful of the sun in summer as the heat in Greece is scorching.

The ideal Duration for a Greece honeymoon is 10-12 days.
