Greece Honeymoon
Discover the ancient wonders of Greece on a honeymoon adventure. Uncover more than 3000 years of civilisation in a country renowned for great beaches, all-night parties and delicious cuisine. Walk in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, Plato, Homer or Agamemnon.
Things to do and see
Explore Byzantine churches and monasteries, Venetian fortresses and Crusader castles, as well as ancient sites dating from the Minoan, Hellenistic and Roman eras.
At the ancient site of Delphi, walk on stones where the ancient Greeks once consulted the Oracle about the future – perhaps try it yourself! Meander around the dramatic ruins of the Parthenon in Athen’s ancient Acropolis, trek to the mountain monastery of Meteora and venture into the gloomy Gates of Hades.
Stroll around the fallen columns on the island of Delos or descend into the frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete. Cool off with a refreshing swim in the Aegean Sea and improve your tan on a pretty beach on one of the many fabulous Greek Islands.
Later, savour a glass of Ouzo or two in a seaside taverna, indulge in a delicious seafood dinner and simply relax as the sun sets over a picturesque harbour on a Greek Island: in Greece you’ll have your pick.
Best time to visit Greece?
The best time for a honeymoon adventure to Greece is between Easter and mid-June, and from the end of August until mid-October when the beaches and ancient sites are relatively uncrowded. The high season lasts from mid-June until the end of August.
Winter, from the middle of October until the beginning of April, is generally quiet everywhere. Winter in Athens averages 10˚C. Summer temperatures on the islands range from 25°C to 30°C, with the heat softened by the northerly ‘meltemi’ wind. |
