01Introduction

We plan Greek honeymoons and trips for couples, matching you to the island that suits you rather than the one on every list, then adding the mainland most visitors skip.

Stone villages, Byzantine hill towns, theatres where you can hear a whisper from the back row, and the right beach for the day’s wind.

03Which island are you?

Five short questions. Three islands, each with a reason.

Evenings, days, food, budget and how far you will travel. It takes a minute, runs in your browser, and asks for no email address.

Take the five questions

The Greece most visitors skip

Most trips go from the airport straight to the port. Give the mainland three or four days and you get mountain villages, sanctuaries and fortress towns, often with no one else around.

  • Acropolis, Athens

    2–3 nights

    Athens

    Most people treat it as a stopover. Give it two nights and it becomes the best city break in the Mediterranean.

  • Nafplio

    5–8 nights by car

    The Peloponnese

    Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia and Mystras on one road trip, with a fortress town by the sea every night.

  • Meteora

    1–2 nights

    Meteora

    Monasteries on top of rock pillars, above the plain of Thessaly. Stay the night to see them at dawn.

  • Delphi

    1–2 nights

    Delphi

    The ancients thought this was the centre of the world, and the view from the mountainside makes it easy to see why.

  • Zagori

    3–4 nights

    Zagori & Epirus

    Stone villages, arched bridges and one of the deepest gorges in Europe. The mountains of Greece, for two.

04Meltemi wind guideΜελτέμι

July and August belong to the north wind. Plan your beaches and ferries around it.

The meltemi cools the islands, but it churns up north-facing beaches and cancels small ferries. The Cyclades take it hardest; the Ionian, in the west, is outside its reach.

Honeymoons, planned around you

Zakynthos

Honeymoons

Fewer moves, better rooms

A Kyma honeymoon usually pairs one island you have heard of with one you haven’t, and often adds a few mainland days that become the part you talk about most.
