No destination conjures up the image of a romantic holiday quite the way Greece does. With its stunning landscapes and impossibly blue seas, Greece is the perfect destination to plan an exotic honeymoon around. However, with so many options to explore, figuring out the ideal itinerary for your Greece honeymoon can be a challenging task. To make it simpler for you, we have compiled a list of things to do in Greece for a dreamy honeymoon.
Imagine a cordon bleu meal being served in a luminous setting of candles and flowers, and complimented with a stunning backdrop -- this is what a candlelight dinner in Greece looks like. If you are in Santorini, you can choose from popular places like Esperisma Bar, Asteras Villas, Petit Palace Suites and Akron Cliff Suite. Apart from these gems in Santorini, Mykonos also has many restaurants ideal for a romantic meal with your partner. You can try options like Kivotos Hotel, Hippie Fish and Krama restaurant.
If your idea of a romantic honeymoon includes relaxing with your partner as you both watch a breath-taking sunset view, a Red Sunset Cruise in Santorini is perfect for you. This cruise is a great way to explore this stunning island, especially if you have less time in hand. You and your spouse can relax on the beach and enjoy the wondrous view, or go for a swim. You could even try snorkelling if you wish. The cruise is also a great way to see famous touristy spots such as the Indian Rock. Since Santorini is believed to have the best sunset views in the world, this cruise must be added to your things to do in Greece list!

Although a typical Greece honeymoon itinerary looks like a post-card perfect trip loaded with mesmerising sunsets and cruises, you need not just be limited to that. Greece has a lot more to offer to couples than just romantic settings. One such destination that represents the vibrant energy of Greece is Mykonos. Often compared to Ibiza, Mykonos is the upcoming and ultimate party destination of the world. If you want to enjoy an epic night with your partner, full of amazing music, delectable cocktails, and never-ending dancing, Mykonos is the place to be. So if you wish to go out partying during your honeymoon in Greece, the swanky clubs of Mykonos are your best bet.
With its volcanoes, elegantly whitewashed houses and startling blue sky, Santorini is among the most alluring places to visit in Greece. While this island has many exquisite spots to discover, a Caldera Cruise is an exceptional way to experience its true beauty. This cruise will sail you around the main attractions of the island such as the caldera (flooded volcanic crater), thermal springs, cliffs and beaches. A perfect way to unwind, this cruise is among the best things to do in Greece. Do not forget to carry your camera to capture stunning pictures with your partner.
Santorini is popular for its age-old affair with wine. From the citrusy Assyrtiko to sweet Vinsanto, a wine tour in Santorini is the perfect way to add a high note to your honeymoon. Famous wineries such as Santo Wines, Venetsanos, Domaine Sigalas and Gavalas stand out as some of the places of particular interest to wine lovers. Wine tasting is the ideal bonding activity for newly-weds. Sipping the rich flavours of these wines over a delicious Mediterranean meal surrounded by the beauty of Santorini is one of the most romantic things to do in Greece with your loved one.

Beyond the picturesque scenery and religion, Meteora is also a hub to many adrenaline-spiking sports. Hiking, mountain biking, and rafting are some of the adventuresome activities that you and your partner can enjoy here.
A heady mix of grace and historical charm, Athens is the perfect place to explore the age-old Greek ruins. Romantics love this place for its crimson sunsets, stunning locations and spellbinding nature. From the Diomedes Botanic Garden for a romantic stroll to the Lycabettus Hill for watching an enchanting sunset hand-in-hand, Athens has some perfect spots for lovers. A leisurely exploration of the Acropolis with your better half is one of the highly recommended things to do in Greece.
