Stretched out over the southern Balkans and the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea, Greece is home to awe inspiring natural beauty, fascinating historical treasures, and a lively cultural scene. A popular starting point for any Greek adventure is Athens, where you can walk through the cobbled streets, and head up to the ruins of the Acropolis, where ancient marble structures still offer stunning views of the city.
If you’re looking for a romantic honeymoon abroad, Greece may be the answer. Only a short flight away from the UK, we believe that the myriad of rich culture, secluded islands and stunning landscapes provide the ideal backdrop to any special occasion. Crete is home to some of the most private resorts in the country, while a trip further south to the remote, rugged scenes of Peloponnese provide an island castaway vibe. Follow in the footsteps of celebrities, such as Kate Hudson and indulge in a Skiathos honeymoon – perhaps treat yourself to a private villa? Or even explore the magical and varied three fingers of Greece at Halkidiki and simply pick the honeymoon that suits you best. Contact us now for your sultry Greek honeymoon!
