Greece is white and blue, warm water and long dinners by the sea. But every island feels different. A great Greek honeymoon therefore starts with the right islands, in the right order.
Which island suits you?
- Santorini: the cliffs, the views and the sunset. Beautiful for a few nights, in a room with its own terrace.
- Mykonos: lively, stylish and great food. For couples who love atmosphere.
- Crete: large and varied: beaches, mountains and a longer season. Ideal as a relaxed base.
- The quieter islands: such as Milos, Paros or Naxos. Less famous, more peaceful.
A two-week route
- Athens, 1–2 nights. Time to land, the Acropolis and a first dinner with a view.
- First island, 4–5 nights. Santorini, for example, for the views.
- Second island, 6–7 nights. A quieter island to truly slow down.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time for a honeymoon in Greece?
Late May, June and September are usually ideal: warm sea water and fewer crowds than in July and August. In summer it can be quite windy on the Cyclades, such as Santorini and Mykonos.
Which Greek island is best for a honeymoon?
It depends on what you're looking for. Santorini for views and sunsets, Mykonos for atmosphere, Crete for space and variety, and the smaller islands for real peace and quiet.
Can you island-hop on a honeymoon?
Yes, but keep it to two, at most three islands in two weeks. Ferries don't always run daily, and every departure takes time. I make sure the order works.
