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.

Greece to tax cruise ship arrivals to protect popular islands from overtourism!

My my,there is also another tax in Pireaus for docking of cruise ships, hasn't the landscape of Tourism Industry changed?!..I like that bit 'To protect the islands!'Now I wander how charging would 'protect the islands'?!🤣... Just the other day Mykonos had 8 cruise ships docked simultaneously with no over crowding!!....so stated the Mayor!🤣🤣The sadest,as always about this is ask anyone who works day in day out if they are rewarded directly for their efforts, especially in the islands which are extortionately costly for the workers for living and accommodation expenses!

Business declines on two islands!

I personally don't know what to make of this!😂..... Having worked in Tourism Industry for many years I never believe statistics(I take them with pinch of salt! 😂).... Quantifying revenue streams from these two Islands especially Mykonos would be a classified confidential subject, perhaps no one know how it is determined!!😂Just a few weeks ago Santorini was restricting numbers,so says the media!?....and now the tour guide says the opposite!....I am going to wait until the end of the summer.Income wise Super Yachts and high end tourism certainly produces substantial revenue,be it may not spreading across, vacant aircraft seats is an indicator of dissatisfied travellers but this has been long time coming!
