The cradle of civilization among turquoise waters and epic sunsets
Honeymoon Score
Overview
A honeymoon in Greece is a journey through history and myth, with the Aegean Sea always as a backdrop. The cubic, white houses with blue roofs hanging over volcanic cliffs offer the dream setting for any couple. It is the ideal destination to combine deep cultural immersions in the morning with relaxed afternoons in the Mediterranean sun and endless dinners washed down with local wine.
Pros
- Incomparable romanticism, especially in the Cyclades
- Fresh and delicious Mediterranean food
Cons
- Mykonos and Santorini can be very crowded and expensive
- Long ferry journeys if there are gusty winds (Meltemi)
