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!
