The best Greek islands for a honeymoon in Greece

 

Volcano view in Santorini

 

 

It’s not a secret that the Greek islands are some of the most popular honeymoon destinations in the world! Whitewashed houses, quaint villages, enthralling sunsets, luxurious seaside resorts…what’s not to love about them?

So, if you’re searching for the most romantic islands to unwind and celebrate the beginning of your wedded life, Santorini, Mykonos, Milos, Corfu, and Crete are your best bets!

 

Honeymoon in Santorini

 

Sunset in Oia

 

Famous all around the globe for its show-stopping sunsets, dramatic caldera views, lunar landscape, and cliff-hanging luxurious resorts, Santorini is the grande dame of romantic destinations in Greece.  Oia, Fira, and Imerovigli are the most romantic villages in Santorini, as they offer breathtaking sunset views and endless luxury accommodation options.

 

The best time to visit Santorini for a honeymoon

 

There’s no doubt that summer is the most romantic season to visit Santorini. But, here’s the catch: in peak season (mid-July to August) the island overflows with tourists, which is not romantic at all! So, if you want to go to Santorini in summer with your significant other, opt for June, early July or September. Alternatively, you can visit Santorini in spring or fall. April, May, and October may be less popular months to visit Santorini, but -and trust us when we say that- they are the best options for a relaxing crowd-free holiday!

The best time to visit Monemvasia for a honeymoon

Monemvasia is a popular destination all year round. However, if you want to enjoy the good weather and dip into the sea of the Laconia region, the best time to visit Monemvasia is from late spring untl early fall (May-September). Monemvasia rarely gets overcrowded, even during the peak season, so summer -even August- is an ideal time be in Monemvasia! However, keep in mind that from mid-July until August it’s VERY hot, so early summer or early fall are better options.

Hello! We're planning our Santorini honeymoon for 2022 and we're deciding between Oia and Fira. Which town would you recommend between the two? Thank you!

Hello! Both villages are very romantic and offer breathtaking views of the caldera and the volcano. In both Oia and Fira you'll find many luxurious hotels as well. Both villages get very crowded in peak season. However, Oia is often a bit more crowded than Fira. So, if you're planning to visit Santorini off season we recommend Oia, otherwise Fira. You could also check out other more quiet villages, like Imerovigli and Pyrgos. We hope you'll have a great time!
