By Harvin Gulfill


A truly romantic Mediterranean experience can only be had with a Greece honeymoon. Greece's timelessness is the perfect place to kick off your new life together as a married couple and there are not so many on earth that can claim the same. Greece has many destinations that couples going on a honeymoon will find just right for them. Though this is so, there are several that really prove you've made the right decision. Here are some of them.

Santorini came to be because of a huge volcanic eruption that occurred four thousand years ago. Nowadays, this island has become one of the foremost destinations whenever couples plan on a Greece honeymoon. Its white washed buildings and quaint villages have its own charm but Santorini's breath-taking sunset lends a romance that's just perfect for a honeymooning couple.

Small cafes, restaurants, art galleries, and colorful shops characterize the island of Mykonos, a classic Greece honeymoon destination with a cosmopolitan flavor. Equally as attractive to tourists and honeymooners are, of course, its beaches, architecture, Little Venice, which is just nearby and its 16th century windmills. Mykonos personifies the best of the old and the new.

One of Greece's largest islands, Rhodes offers its visitors a diverse set of attractions that they will find wonderful. The island claims 300 days of sunshine out of 365 in a year. Ancient castles, traditional villages and medieval settlements as well as its archaeological sites make Rhodes an amazing place to spend your honeymoon in. Its beautiful beaches add to its attractions as well.

Crete which is the largest Greek island offers diverse terrains that range from hills and mountains to beaches. Chania is Crete's main attraction, with its delicious seafood restaurants and colorful shops. The ancient archeological palace, Knossos, is in Heraklion and also makes a wonderful honeymoon destination. The Ierapetra beaches are great but for British tourists, Malia is the place to be.

Sifnos is famous for its gold and silver mines during ancient times but today, is not as well known as the other Greek islands. Affording privacy that honeymooning couples would find attractive, the Vathi beach in the Cyclades has become a favorite among tourists as well. Those whose tastes run towards history will appreciate Kasto, a medieval village that has been well preserved up to this time.

A Greece honeymoon can be the perfect start to your life together. With a lot of options to choose from, you'll find the perfect Greek destination that you'd both enjoy immensely.
