When couples search for honeymoon destinations, Greece appears in the top 3 results globally. Santorini alone generates over 4 million monthly searches worldwide. For travel agents, Greece represents one of the highest-margin honeymoon destinations because clients are willing to pay premium prices for the iconic blue-and-white experience. This guide gives you everything needed to create Greece packages that convert engagement rings into boarding passes.
The Greece Appeal: Why Couples Choose It
- Visual recognition: Santorini's white-washed buildings and blue domes are the world's most recognized romantic imagery
- Island variety: Over 200 inhabited islands means you can match any couple's personality to the perfect island
- Mediterranean climate: 250+ sunny days per year with warm, dry summers ideal for honeymoons
- History meets luxury: 5,000-year-old archaeological sites alongside 5-star infinity pool suites
- Food and wine: Greek cuisine consistently rated among the world's best. Fresh seafood, local wines, and romantic taverna dining
- Competitive pricing: Despite the luxury perception, Greece is 30-40% cheaper than comparable experiences in France or Italy
Santorini: The Honeymoon Capital of the World
Santorini needs no introduction. The volcanic caldera island with its cliff-hanging white villages, blue-domed churches, and legendary sunsets is the single most requested honeymoon destination globally.
Where to Stay in Santorini
- Oia (Premium): The famous sunset village. Caldera-view cave suites with private plunge pools. Prices: SGD 400-1,200/night in peak season. This is where the iconic blue dome photos are taken
- Fira (Mid-Range): The main town with caldera views, more dining options, and better nightlife. Prices: SGD 200-500/night. Better value with similar views
- Imerovigli (Luxury Quiet): Between Fira and Oia, highest point on the caldera. Premium hotels, very romantic, less crowded. Prices: SGD 300-800/night
- Kamari/Perissa (Budget): Beach-side villages on the east coast. No caldera views but black sand beaches and affordable accommodation. Prices: SGD 80-200/night
Must-Sell Santorini Experiences
- Caldera sunset sailing cruise - 5-hour catamaran cruise with BBQ dinner, swimming stops at hot springs, and sunset views from the water. The most booked experience in Santorini. Price: SGD 120-200/person
- Wine tasting tour - Santorini's volcanic soil produces unique Assyrtiko white wine. Estate visits with caldera views and wine pairing dinner
- Private photography session - Professional photographer capturing the couple at blue domes, sunset spots, and hidden alleys. Premium upsell at SGD 300-500
- Akrotiri archaeological site - "Minoan Pompeii" - ancient city preserved by volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago
- Red Beach & Black Beach visits - Unique volcanic beaches for variety beyond the caldera
Mykonos: The Glamorous Island
If Santorini is romance, Mykonos is energy. This island attracts couples who want their honeymoon to include vibrant beach clubs, world-class dining, and a buzzing social scene alongside stunning Cycladic beauty.
Mykonos Highlights
- Little Venice - Waterfront bars and restaurants with waves crashing below. Sunset cocktails here rival Oia
- Windmills - Iconic 16th-century windmills overlooking the harbor. Best photographed at golden hour
- Paradise & Super Paradise beaches - Famous beach club scene with DJs, champagne, and turquoise water
- Delos Island - UNESCO World Heritage Site, mythological birthplace of Apollo. Half-day boat trip from Mykonos
- Mykonos Town (Chora) - Maze-like white alleys with bougainvillea, boutique shopping, and gourmet restaurants
- Scorpios Beach Club - Luxury bohemian beach club that has become a destination in itself
Agent Tip: For honeymooners, always recommend Santorini + Mykonos rather than just one island. The contrast between Santorini's tranquility and Mykonos' energy creates the perfect honeymoon arc: romance first, then celebration.
Athens: The Historical Anchor
Athens serves as the gateway to the islands and deserves 2 nights in every Greece itinerary. Clients who skip Athens miss one of Europe's most exciting cities.
- Acropolis & Parthenon - The 2,500-year-old temple complex crowning the city. Book early morning guided tours to avoid crowds and heat
- Acropolis Museum - World-class museum displaying artifacts from the Acropolis with views of the Parthenon through glass floors
- Plaka neighborhood - Charming pedestrian streets below the Acropolis with tavernas, souvenir shops, and neoclassical houses
- Monastiraki Flea Market - Sunday market atmosphere with antiques, street food, and Acropolis backdrop
- Cape Sounion sunset - Temple of Poseidon on a dramatic cliff 70km from Athens. Half-day excursion ending with one of Greece's best sunsets
- Rooftop dining - Athens has dozens of rooftop restaurants with illuminated Acropolis views. Book for the honeymoon night
Island Hopping: The Art of Greek Island Combinations
Ferry vs Domestic Flights
- Athens to Santorini: Ferry 5-8 hours (from SGD 40) or flight 45 min (from SGD 80). Recommend flight for honeymooners to maximize island time
- Santorini to Mykonos: Ferry 2-3 hours (from SGD 50). No direct flights. The ferry is scenic and enjoyable
- Mykonos to Athens: Ferry 3-5 hours or flight 40 min. Recommend flight for last leg to catch international connections
Booking Ferries
Greek island ferries are operated by multiple companies. High-speed ferries (SeaJets, Hellenic Seaways) are faster but pricier. Blue Star Ferries are slower but more comfortable with open decks. Always book ferries in advance during June-September as they sell out.
