Talk to anyone who’s been to Greece and they will all mention Santorini. It’s something about the amazing caldera view, the famous volcano and air of mystery and romance as soon as you set food on the island. Home to a magnificent sunset, it’s best to see it in Oia, Fira or Faros Lighthouse where you'll feel as if you two are the only people on the planet. Santorini is great if you’ve got a big budget; where you can choose from a range of luxury hotels, complete with balconies with sunset views and private pools. It’s a good choice for a ready-made luxury honeymoon.

Combine that with the island’s charming sugar-cube houses, spotlessly clean streets and fantastic ambience and you have the recipe for the most amazing honeymoon. Mykonos has its own range of luxury and mid range hotels and accommodations that provide a retreat to couples who want some alone time on the busy island.
