Congratulations, Newlyweds! Greece is Calling for Your Dream Honeymoon!
You did it—you survived the engagement parties, tackled the wedding planning, and said your “I dos” . Now comes the real fun: planning your honeymoon! The world is full of dreamy destinations, but Greece has long reigned as a honeymoon hotspot for good reason. With its endless sunshine, rich history, mouthwatering food, and jaw-dropping romantic views, it’s a Mediterranean paradise perfect for newlyweds.
Ready to escape to the land of ancient myths and modern romance?
Here’s your ultimate guide to planning a magical honeymoon in Greece.
When’s the Best Time to Visit Greece for Your Honeymoon?
Honestly? There’s no such thing as a “bad” time to visit Greece. That said, if you’re dreaming of sun-drenched beach days and lively island vibes, aim for May to September. During these months, Athens enjoys highs in the 80s, and the famous party scene on islands like Mykonos is in full swing from July to August. Expect buzzing beach bars, packed clubs, and an electric vacation atmosphere perfect for a celebratory toast to your love.
Prefer a quieter vibe (and lower price tags)? The shoulder seasons of April-May and late September-October are pure magic. You’ll still enjoy warm weather and swimmable seas, but with fewer tourists elbowing for a selfie. Bonus: You’re more likely to score a deal on dreamy stays, like a cliffside suite in Santorini or a seaside villa in Crete.
The Most Romantic Greek Islands for Honeymooners
The Greek mainland is lovely, but let’s be real—the islands steal the show when it comes to romance. Here are the ones you’ll want to put on your newlywed bucket list:
Milos
Looking for a low-key, off-the-beaten-path escape? Milos is your honeymoon haven. Rent a four-wheeler (because cars? Who needs them!) and zip between its stunning beaches. By night, savor fresh seafood and local wine at quaint seaside tavernas. Cozy, charming, and ridiculously romantic.
Mykonos
If you and your spouse are ready to keep the party going, head straight to Mykonos. This island is all about beachside day-to-night bashes, high-end shopping, and chic hotels that scream luxury. Dance under the stars, explore the vibrant streets of Mykonos Town, and then crash in style at a lavish island retreat.
Tinos
For a hidden gem with an authentic Greek vibe, set your sights on Tinos. Accessible by ferry, this island is loved by locals but overlooked by most tourists. It’s dotted with beautiful beaches, charming villages, and a spiritual vibe thanks to its historic churches. Fewer crowds, more intimacy—it’s honeymoon gold.
Crete
The largest of the Greek islands, Crete offers a little bit of everything. Stroll through ancient ruins, hike rugged gorges, and swim in sparkling waters, You could spend weeks here and still find new things to fall in love with. With its world-class cuisine, stunning landscapes, and luxurious resorts, it’s a place where romance and adventure blend seamlessly.
