Helen and Paris. Aphrodite and Adonis. Odysseus and Penelope. Famous love stories from Greek mythology have captivated generations. Modern day Greece is no less romantic, enveloping you in lovely feelings courtesy of its scenic landscapes, vibrant culture, and exciting underwater couples' adventures. Here are some of the main reasons why a Greek honeymoon or romantic escapade will only bring you closer to your special someone.
1. Treat yourselves to sunset dinner cruises.
Greece offers some of the most awe-inspiring sundown spectacles in the world. Watching a glorious sunset with your partner makes the experience all the more special. To witness the magical moment, you can choose from famous hotspots like Santorini’s Oia, Mykonos’ Little Venice, and Naxos’ Portara. To skip the crowds, visit lesser-known spots like Milos' Plaka in Milos and Zakynthos' Keri.
2. Enjoy a romantic wine experience.
When you picture a romantic date, you envision a candlelit dinner, roses, music, chocolates, and a glass of red wine. In one of the world's oldest wine-producing regions, a wine tasting tour is a great way to relax and bond with your partner. Explore the beautiful vineyards of Santorini, discover legendary wineries and feast on authentic Greek fare in Athens. Embark on an intimate vineyard tour on the beautiful island of Kefalonia.
3. Spend an evening at a Greek tavern.
On a date night in Athens, head to a taverna that offers a live show. Sure, it will be bustling with people, but the traditional Greek dances and songs will have you foot-tapping and exchanging smiles with your partner in no time. Soak in a lively atmosphere that encourages you to shed your inhibitions and immerse in the fun with your partner. Food and romance are inextricably linked. The delectable dishes at tavernas will infuse more romance into your Greek honeymoon!
4. Snorkel around gorgeous Greek Islands.
Swimming with a mask and snorkel may not strike anyone as particularly romantic, but the shared experience of exploring the underwater world together can create unforgettable moments for couples. On a Greek vacation, snorkelling opportunities abound. Connect with the beauty of marine life and with your partner on a snorkelling adventure in Santorini, Paradise Beach, Parikia Beach, Lemos Cape, and Charakas Beach, among other spots.
5. Discover the romance-heavy history of Greek gods and goddesses.
Several places in Greece are associated with romantic tales from Greek mythology. Naxos is where Dionysus, the god of wine, fell in love. Knossos on the island of Crete is the home of Ariadne, who fell in love with Theseus and helped him escape the Labyrinth after he slew the Minotaur. Pelion is famous for the wedding of Thetis and Peleus. A visit to these places is sure to keep the cup of love overflowing!

Locals don’t rush—whether it's dinner at 10:00 p.m. or a three-hour coffee. The best way to experience Greece is to match its rhythm and let moments stretch out.
Delphi isn’t just a historical site—it’s deeply spiritual. Standing where the Oracle once spoke, you feel this pulse of ancient energy still alive in the stones
Athens is like a living labyrinth—layered, electric, and full of stories if you know where to look. Once you’ve seen the major landmarks, get lost in places like Psiri and Koulaki for a real local vibe

It’s fairly easy to travel between islands by plane or ferry, but I love renting a dune buggy once I’m there—it’s more fun than taxis.
