My partner and I are planning a trip to Greece, and we’re looking for recommendations on the best romantic spots to visit. We’re hoping to find a good mix of relaxation, beautiful scenery, and some adventure. We’ve heard Santorini is a must for couples, but we’re also curious about lesser-known islands or regions that offer a more secluded, intimate experience.

What are some of your favorite places in Greece for a romantic getaway? We’d love tips on romantic accommodations, great spots for sunset views, and restaurants with a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Also, any suggestions for unique activities we can do together—like wine tasting, boat trips, or scenic hikes—would be much appreciated.

We’re looking to create some unforgettable memories, so any advice you have would be wonderful!
 
If you’re looking for a romantic escape in Greece, Santorini is definitely a classic choice with its stunning sunsets in Oia and the luxurious cave hotels, but there are also some hidden gems worth exploring. Consider visiting Milos, a lesser-known island with breathtaking beaches like Sarakiniko and Kleftiko, where you can enjoy a private boat tour exploring sea caves and crystal-clear waters.

Another option is Folegandros, offering a quieter, more intimate vibe with charming cliffside villages and cozy boutique hotels. For a mix of adventure and relaxation, try Crete's Elafonissi Beach for its pink sand and Balos Lagoon for a scenic boat trip.

For romantic dining, look for seaside tavernas in Paros or Naxos that offer fresh seafood and candle-lit dinners by the water. Don't miss the chance to go wine tasting in Santorini or enjoy a sunset hike to Skaros Rock for unforgettable views.
 

Suggested 10-Day Itinerary for Corfu and Athens?

Hi everyone! I’m starting to plan a possible trip to Greece, either this fall or early next summer, and would love some itinerary advice. I’m Greek but haven’t explored much of the country beyond family visits, so this trip feels special.

I’m currently thinking of splitting the time between Corfu and Athens, but I’m not sure how best to divide the 10 days. Would 4 days in Corfu and 4 in Athens (plus travel days) be balanced, or would you suggest more time in one over the other?

Also, would it be worth adding a third destination to make the most of the trip? Maybe a mainland spot like Nafplio or Meteora, or another island that's easy to reach?

Paros & Tinos Vacation Tips Needed.

Hello,

I am thinking of going to both these islands this Octomber. I am looking for some direction, I'd like area's that have both nice beeches, shops and tavernas. Can someone please give me tips on areas for these? For both Paros and Tinos. Cheers !:)

Greece Island Hopping Advice?

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to Greece later this year and could really use some advice on island hopping logistics and itinerary ideas. I’m thinking of starting with a few days in Athens to explore the history and vibe of the city, then heading to Crete and Santorini — both have been on my list forever. I’m also hoping to add one more island to the mix (not Mykonos though).

I’d love suggestions for that “third” island — ideally something beautiful but not overly crowded, with some culture, beaches, or unique charm. I’ve heard good things about Naxos, Paros, and even Milos. Any thoughts on which might be the best fit, especially given I’ll be doing this all in about 10–12 days?

Saving money this summer in Greece?

I might be heading to Greece this summer and looking for smart ways to save money without missing out on the experience. I know prices have gone up a bit recently, especially in popular spots, so I’d love to hear your best tips for keeping things affordable.

Do you have any tips for saving some money? I have been to Greece many times. My tricks include staying a bit out of the way from the center of town (but still close enough), traveling to places where I can use public transport, and buying my own groceries for some meals to save a bit of money on food costs.

Seeing an Ancient Greek Play while in Greece?

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to Greece and would love to see an ancient Greek play while I’m there—something staged in an open-air ancient theater, like Epidaurus or even Herodes Atticus in Athens. It’s been a dream of mine to experience a classic tragedy or comedy under the stars in the kind of venue it was originally performed in.

I was wondering if anyone has tips for how to plan for this. Do these performances only happen during certain months or festivals? Do I need to buy tickets far in advance? Also, are the plays typically performed in modern or ancient Greek—and is it still enjoyable if you don’t speak fluent Greek?

Any advice on what to bring, where to sit, or how to make the most of the experience would be amazing. I’d really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences. Thanks!
