These qualities make Greece tremendously popular for honeymooners: you can explore ancient ruins, immerse yourself in a wonderful European culture, enjoy the Greek cuisine and wines, and sun yourself on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Many couples create their honeymoon from a combination of stops--most often Athens plus one or more of the islands, such as Santorini, Mykonos, or Crete.
