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.

Which island to visit?

If you only had time to visit one of these islands which would you choose? I am in negotiations with my family to pick only one of these... There's 8 of us traveling and we each have different opinions.

1. Mykonos
2. Santorini
3. Zakynthos
4. Crete
5. Naxos

I am personally leaning towards Zakynthos or Naxos because I have never been... Thanks in advance!

Advice for Creating a Greek Itinerary?

I’m planning a 3-week trip to Greece and could use some advice on building the perfect itinerary. I know I definitely want to visit Kefalonia and Athens, but I’m torn about where else to go for my third destination. Should I add another island like Santorini, Crete, or Corfu, or stick to the mainland and explore somewhere like Delphi or Meteora?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on how to balance the time between these spots. How many days should I spend in each place? Are there any must-see attractions or experiences I shouldn’t miss?

Also, any tips on transportation would be really helpful! Should I rely on ferries, flights, or a rental car?

I want to soak in the culture, enjoy amazing food, and see both historic sites and natural beauty. Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

What does contemporary fine dining look like in Greece?

I’m planning a trip to Greece and, while I love traditional Greek food, I’m also curious about the modern fine dining scene. I know Greece has a deep culinary heritage, but I’ve heard that some chefs are taking classic flavors and giving them a contemporary twist.

For those who have experienced it, what does fine dining in Greece look like today? Are there any standout restaurants or chefs redefining Greek cuisine? Is it more focused on Michelin-starred establishments, or are there also smaller, innovative spots worth checking out?

I’m particularly interested in tasting dishes that blend tradition with modern techniques, maybe something with a creative take on seafood, local ingredients, or Greek wines. Any recommendations for restaurants in Athens, Thessaloniki, or the islands?

Would love to hear about your experiences and must-try dishes! Thanks in advance.

10 Days in Greece - No Athens or Islands

I’m planning a 10-day trip to Greece and would love some help crafting an itinerary. I’ve already spent time in Athens and the mainland, so this time, I’d like to focus entirely on the islands or other unique coastal spots. I’m interested in experiencing beautiful beaches, quaint villages, local culture, and, of course, some fantastic Greek food!

I’m open to a mix of popular spots and lesser-known islands, and I’d love suggestions on which islands are must-sees and how long to spend on each one. I’m especially curious if anyone has tips on efficient ferry routes or if it’s worth flying between some of the farther islands. Also, any recommendations on accommodations or local experiences would be amazing!

Thanks so much for any advice or ideas you can share.

Travelling to Corfu, summer 2025

Hi there

I'm travelling to Corfu, spending a month there in summer 2025. I wondered if I might be able to connect with anyone else with similar plans (male or female, any age) as while I'm excited about the opportunity to explore on my own and do a lot of much-needed reflection on my trip, meeting other like-minded travellers is never a bad idea!

Also, if anyone has any tips about Paleokasistra, or might be heading to Corfu next summer, I'd love to hear from you.

Please do reach out.
