Greece’s Santorini is truly one of the most incredibly romantic honeymoon getaway destinations in the world – and why wouldn’t it be with all that it has to offer? Honeymooning here is like a dream come true. When you have a chance (and how could you miss it?) be sure to see as much of the ocean as possible from the white sands of their many beaches and marvel at the shimmering shades of blues.
Go out to explore the hidden and private beaches that offer their own piece of heaven, and be sure to experience as many sunrises and sunsets as possible from any place with a view. Relax in the sun by the pool or the beach, indulge in the exquisite meals and fine wines, and exchange a kiss or two underneath Santorini’s sunset!

Hike, Climb and Soar!
Santorini is rich in adventurous experiences – from jumping off the cliffs at Amoudi Bay to hiking the Fira Trail, and exploring the hot springs. Although the views from up high are just as stunning twenty-four hours a day, they’re just that more special at sunset! And to make the experience that much more exciting, consider riding a donkey up the mountain of Old Fira! Check out Santorini Car Hire for all your donkey-riding fun!
Hit the Beaches!
What is a Santorini experience without the beach? You will absolutely get a little sunburnt – but how else could you get that perfect Santorini tan? Rent a lounge and an umbrella from your hotel to avoid the worst of the heat, and then just kick back with your partner for a relaxing day admiring the shimmering blue of the ocean.

Watch the Sunset
Watching the sunset up high is one of the most amazing things in all of Santorini—especially if you get to see it bounce off the famous white houses in Oia. Watching the sunset is truly one of the most spectacular things to do in Santorini – next to their food! So why not combine them at a restaurant like Nichteri Restaurant.
Create a Unique Experience
Make Santorini your own! Test your limits on the edges of a cliff and experience new and exciting cuisine! Santorini is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and certainly an amazing place to visit to truly enjoy the Greek experience. You and your significant other can expect to return home with a tonne of memories (hopefully captured on film!) and a relaxed beachside glow!
