1. Easy island-hopping
One of the best parts of a honeymoon to the Greek islands is how easy it is to get around by ferry and plane. On the islands themselves, there’s a wide range of options—quads, scooters, bikes, boats, and more. Head out and explore in whatever way suits you best!
2. Unique beaches
Zakynthos, Crete, Santorini, Paros, … These are all islands that are spread out and look completely different from one another. What do they have in common? Their stunning, one-of-a-kind beaches. On Zakynthos, for example, you’ll find Shipwreck Beach, a famous spot and perfect for snorkeling. On Santorini, you’ll discover smaller beaches with breathtaking views. Spending your honeymoon on the Greek island of Crete? Then be sure to explore the wide white-sand beaches and turquoise waters.
3. The rich history of Crete and Rhodes
If you’re interested in ancient Greek culture, Crete or Rhodes are ideal honeymoon destinations. These Greek islands have an incredibly rich archaeological heritage. The Palace of Knossos and the Old Town of Rhodes are definitely worth a visit. Time to dig out that high school history course and get ready… your partner will be impressed!
4. Santorini’s idyllic streets and stunning sunsets
Santorini—an absolute Instagram paradise—can get very crowded. We visited this beautiful island ourselves and can only agree that the many small streets, white houses, and blue rooftops make it more than worth the trip. And the sunsets are truly unmatched. Tip: don’t go to the most popular streets to watch the sunset—walk a little further and enjoy an equally beautiful, colorful spectacle. Or book a hotel in Oía and enjoy it right from your own terrace!
5. The Mediterranean climate
Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, most Greek islands enjoy warm—and even hot—summers and mild winters. On Kos, for instance, you can expect an average temperature of 24°C. Planning a honeymoon to the Cyclades, an archipelago of 56 islands best known for Santorini and Mykonos? It’s best to go between April and October to experience the most pleasant climate.
6. Mamma Mia!
Skiathos and Skopelos are slightly lesser-known Greek islands, but you may recognize them as filming locations for “Mamma Mia” and “Mamma Mia Here We Go Again!”. Rent a private boat, book an overnight stay on these islands, or take a day trip to explore Skiathos and Skopelos. Fans of the musicals will instantly recognize many of the spots where Meryl Streep and Colin Firth danced around!
7. Delicious olives
The olive theory—who hasn’t heard of it? According to this theory, you and your partner are meant to be if one of you loves olives and the other absolutely doesn’t. Do the ultimate test on your honeymoon in the Greek islands—or simply enjoy them together. After all, the tastiest olives grow right here!
8. Greek culinary highlights
Greek salad, feta cheese, tzatziki, gyros… Greek cuisine is rich and full of surprising flavors. Take on the challenge and taste all these delights on your honeymoon. Instagram food pics are a must!
9. Boat parties!
If there’s one thing Greeks do exceptionally well—besides cooking—it’s partying and dancing! We tried it ourselves and can confidently say that a catamaran trip ending in a real boat party is an absolute must… Don’t forget your bikini, snorkel, sunscreen, and dancing shoes. You can book these boat trips on almost any Greek island.
