Why Go To A Honeymoon In Santorini?

Greece in itself is an amazing honeymoon destination and the great thing about Greece is you can easily get to a few different destinations.

Santorini is usually at the top because of its reputation.

What makes Santorini stand out amongst the other islands is the caldera views. The views are absolutely incredible and make for great honeymoon photographs.

Santorini Blue Dome Church

Santorini is also known for its excellent restaurants, luxurious resorts, and spas.

With that said… you do not need to go to Santorini on your honeymoon. Santorini is crowded and does not have great beaches. The iconic resorts with views can be very expensive.

How Many Days Should You Spend in Santorini?

We recommend 3-4 nights in Santorini. This will give you enough time to experience the sunsets, and explore the rest of the island a bit before moving on to another destination.

When To Go To Santorini

The best time to go to Santorini is in the shoulder season. The weather is still nice without the crowds and heat of July and August.

I love swimming in the ocean and always look at water temperatures to decide when to go. The thing about Santorini is the beaches are not the main attraction.

With that in mind, September is the best time to visit Santorini. The crowds slow down and the weather is still warm.

May, June, and October are also great options.

July and August are both busy and very hot.

What To Do During Your Santorini Honeymoon

Santorini is a destination of serenity and beauty. Immerse in the nature around you, observe the sunsets, laze around in the water, visit the archaeological sites, and relax on the banana lounge. The beaches are for parties, sunbathing and cocktails. You can take a sailing tour to the volcanic sites and check out the hot sulfuric springs. Go hiking up the cliffs and watch the panoramas from above. Don’t forget to visit the ruins of Ancient Thera.

Schedule a Honeymoon Photoshoot

One of the best things to do on your romantic getaway to Santorini was to schedule a professional photo shoot. We hired a photographer through Flytographer and had a great time.

Now we have professional photos to help us remember our trip.

Go On A Sunset Catamaran Cruise

This was one of the best memories of our entire Greece trip and the most romantic.

Watch the sun dip into the horizon, leaving behind a scarlet sky. Most cruises include a visit to the hot springs, and stopping to swim at some other beaches.

You can book cruises that include a delicious meal.

Eventually, you will be able to enjoy a romantic sunset before returning to the port.

We loved just cruising back and dancing to the music.

Eat all the Greek Food you can

Greece is well known for its amazing food. While you are on your honeymoon in Santorini, take advantage of all the great restaurants.

Make sure to get Greek salad, hummus, tzatziki, pita, and lamb.

You can’t go wrong with any of the seafood either.

And for dessert, get baklava!

We tried several restaurants and loved them all!

Visit Imerovigli

Hopefully, you are staying in Imerovigli, but if not, take a half-day trip to walk through the town, get some dinner and enjoy the most incredible sunset.

Santorini Sunset View

The views from any spot in town are incredible and there are plenty of photo opportunities around every corner.

Avoid Oia For Sunset

This is controversial, but going to sunset in Oia is overrated. Most of the town does not face the sun, so you will be in a small area waiting for hours to see a sunset in order to get a great view.

Oia Sunset Area

Instead, go to Imerovigli as mentioned above, or really any place along the edge of the island.

Consider the Akrotiri lighthouse or the viewpoints in Fira for the romantic sunset instead.

Hiking Trail Between Fira & Oia

This is not for us, or really anyone in July or August.

But if you like hiking, this is an amazing opportunity.

The hiking trail between Fira and Oia is almost 6.5 miles long. The scenic route takes somewhere between 3 to 5 hours, and it passes the caldera cliff, Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli, and Oia.

Visit Fira

Lying beside the Aegean Sea opposite fiery volcanoes, Fira is the capital of Santorini. It sits on the edge of a 400-meter-high caldera cliff offering panoramas of white-washed houses, surrounding Greek isles, and 11 miles-long caldera.

On your honeymoon to Santorini, you must explore the scenic town brimming with architectural beauty and natural wonders. You can access Fira mainly via roads. cable cars, donkey rides, and on foot. Once you enter the town, you will be blown away by its ivory facade, quiet alleys, and overall enchanting ambiance. At nighttime, the city transforms into a party hub with a lively crowd.

Visit Oia

Ok, Oia is overrated, but still work the visit. Oia is an olde-worlde village of Santorini sprawling on its northwestern tip. Similar to Fira, there are snowy-white houses and buildings embedded in rugged hills.

Oia town

Ammoudi is a small port in Oia that can be accessed by a staircase with 300 steps. From there you can take a boat to the island of Thirassia, spend a few hours at a sublime beach of Armenis and have fresh seafood.

Visit Ancient Thera

The antique city is a famous archaeological site in Santorini sitting atop Messavouno mountain, approximately 360 m high. It boasts numerous ruins including those from the Roman, Hellenistic, and Byzantine settlements.

There are marvelous temples, theaters, gymnasiums, and markets. You will see the limestone buildings decorated with mosaic patterns and find artistic vestiges such as pottery and sculptures.

Best of all might just be the view of the entire Island you can see from here. It also makes for a great place to watch the iconic Santorini sunset.

How to Get to Santorini

If you are traveling to Santorini from Athens, you can catch any cheap flight from western Europe to Athens. The next step is to take a ferry – you can buy tickets online in advance or directly from the port. You can access the port via a metro. The ferry ride to Santorini is a visual delight. Enjoy the sea breeze, the crystalline water, and views of the caldera.

Can You Visit Santorini on a budget?

Yes, it is possible to visit Santorini on a budget. The main expense in visiting Santorini is accommodations.

In Perissa, you can find accommodations for 1/2 the price of the hotels in Oia or Fira.

Once you are on the island, there are many free things to do such as hiking, visiting archaeological sites, and strolling around villages.

Food is affordable throughout the island.
