8 Romantic Things To Do On Honeymoon In Santorini, Greece

 

Glorious Santorini, with its whitewashed homes, blue-domed churches and beautiful coastline is among the best places for a honeymoon. There are so many great ways to spend time there together, making perfect memories of a lifetime. If planning a honeymoon on the island, read on to find out eight romantic ways to spend your time on Santorini in Greece.

1. Enjoy a private photography tour

Nowadays, most people have a smartphone to take photos of the gorgeous scenery. However, when on honeymoon, why not spoil yourselves by paying for a private photography tour? During the tour, a professional photographer will capture every moment in a candid and contemporary way. On returning home, share all those perfect images with friends and family.

2. Wine tasting in Santorini

A wonderful way to spend time together in Santorini is by experiencing an official wine-tasting tour. Raise your glass to each other at one of the island’s wineries before heading to the next, without one of you needing to be a designated driver. Along the way, ensure that the wine-tasting tour includes Santo Winery, which offers the most fabulous views.

3. Take a romantic catamaran or yacht cruise

Rather than spending time on the big tourist boats, book your own, private catamaran cruise around Santorini. There are a number of options to choose from, including a romantic dinner-for-two cruise, a sunset cruise or simply an hour or two of sailing, while gazing back at the island as you go.

4. Enjoy a private tour of Santorini

Besides wine tours and private photography tours, why not book a private tour of the island itself? As you go from one attraction to another, learn more about Santorini and its history, while taking photos to share on Instagram when you get home.

5. Hike from Fira to Oia – a honeymoon adventure

For those with a sense of adventure, hiking along the caldera from Fira to Oia is a great experience. The hike isn’t too strenuous and normally takes around 3 to 5 hours. Meanwhile, the views of Santorini from the top are spectacular.

6. Stare down the crater of an active volcano

Speaking of adventure, head to Nea Kameni, the island next to Santorini and hike up to the crater of the active volcano. It’s easy to get there by boat and the hike takes around 20 minutes. Meanwhile, besides gazing into the crater, there are gorgeous views of the island on the horizon.

7. Helicopter ride over the island

For the ultimate views of this stunning Greek Island on your honeymoon, take a helicopter ride, seeing the caldera and all the other beautiful sights from the air. Meanwhile, you could add a visit to another island like Mykonos, and take a boat ride back at the end of a perfect day.

8. Browse the titles at Atlantis Books

For those romantic bookworms, Atlantis Books in Oia is a real treat for your honeymoon. Run by expats, this fascinating bookstore is one of the best in the world. Meanwhile, it is tucked away among the whitewashed buildings on the island. While small, the shelves are packed with some of the best literary works by Leo Tolstoy, Samuel Beckett and other fine authors. However, you’ll also find other popular works, like Stephen King in various languages.

Congratulations on your marriage – have a beautiful honeymoon together in Santorini, followed by an equally beautiful life together, with all the memories.
