Santorini, Greece is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations and for those who have previously visited the island there is no need to explain why. The island is truly magical and romantic without even having to try. The idyllic villages perched high on the cliff side offer an air of mysticism, and the gorgeous sunsets that can be enjoyed at their best from several points on the island are Mother Nature’s way of making Santorini one of the most romantic destinations on the earth.

Your Santorini honeymoon can be whatever you want it to be. If you imagine yourself relaxing by the side of the pool at one of the Santorini luxury villas in complete privacy then there are honeymoon packages to suit you. However, if you prefer to stay somewhere basic and spend your days doing water sports and exploring the island then Santorini can offer you the best in archaeological sites and activities to keep you busy. Santorini island recreation includes boat trips over the caldera for a trip to the volcano and the island of Therasia.

Whatever you want for your most special of holidays, Santorini has it all. If you want a view of the Caldera, villas are available that have the most stunning of settings, if you want to watch the sunset every night, then staying in Imerovigli will give you some of the best views on the island. Fira and Oia honeymoon hotels are available which also offer amazing views, and are set in very stunning locations. Hotels built into the mountain give a cave-like feel for a truly unique honeymoon experience. Oia is also a beautiful place to catch the evening sunset. Of all the resorts in Greece, those in Santorini are perhaps the most classically romantic of them all.

Greek island cruises should always include a stop in Santorini and many of them do. If you are planning a trip to Greece, honeymoon or another special occasion holiday then Santorini is well worth considering. Whether you want to stay in a lively resort, the main town or a private villa for added seclusion, the island of Santorini can match your dream.

Honeymoon packages can also be booked alongside the actual wedding ceremony in Santorini which can be arranged through a travel agent, directly with the hotel where you are staying, or through a specialised wedding planner. Some hotels are not licensed to hold the actual ceremony but will happily cater the reception later; other hotels can offer the full package. With the right planning you can have the wedding and honeymoon you always imagined as one complete package.

If you prefer to have the ceremony at home in familiar surroundings and ensure that all your friends and family can attend; and then honeymoon without the whole family along with you, then many of the hotels in Santorini have special honeymoon packages to help to create the really special occasion you will be talking about for years to come. Added touches such as Champagne in the room on arrival, baskets of fresh fruit or a room upgrade can all help to make the happy couple feel even more special.
