A Luxury Honeymoon to Greece

There are few places where the past comes to life in quite the same way as in Athens. Often referred to as the cradle of Western civilisation, it’s a city bursting at the seams with culture, intrigue and beauty. It’s not just a place for history, but one of the liveliest European capitals and the perfect place to start your luxury Greece honeymoon.

You’ll visit ancient sites such as the Acropolis and the Panathenaic Stadium on a private tour. You’ll also get the chance to explore a quieter side of the city as you weave in and out of its different neighbourhoods, stopping for coffee and traditional Greek food. A thriving café culture ensures you’re not left waning in between sightseeing and you’ll never have to venture far to enjoy great nightlife.

Your next stop on your romantic honeymoon is the island of Mykonos. This might be one of the smallest islands in the Cyclades, but it makes up for it in character. Its reputation as a glamorous party destination has stuck since the 50s. While it’s true people here know how to have a good time, the island is incredibly beautiful, its beaches and secluded corners offering refuge to those who seek it.

With its cubic white houses laced with colourful bougainvillea, red domes and church bell towers, Mykonos town is picture perfect. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants from where to sit and people watch, and the white labyrinthine streets are ripe for exploring

You’ll also have time to explore the nearby island of Delos – one of most important mythological, archaeological and historical sites in all of Greece. Sail through the sparkling waters by private yacht and ride across its beautiful beaches on horseback.

Santorini is a little slice of Greek heaven floating in the southern Aegean. A huge volcanic eruption 3,500 years ago left a caldera that turned the then-circular Santorini into a crescent-shaped island. It’s the largest of a small archipelago, wrapping its arms protectively around the islands of Palea, Nea and Thirasia. Sheer cliffs hundreds of metres high shield coves and beaches made up of red, white and black sand, while pretty villages of limewashed cubic houses creep up the sides, nestled into every nook and cranny.

Spend three days wandering through the island’s winding streets and seeking out the best spots from which to watch the sky as the sun sinks behind the inky horizon. Traditional whitewashed houses are scattered across the island, burst of colours coming from overflowing window boxes and brightly painted shuttered windows. You’ll also enjoy a private boat cruise around Santorini and Folegandros on a quest for the quietest and most idyllic beaches.
