12 Honeymoon Destinations Couples Love

7. Santorini, Greece

Overview: Santorini’s iconic cliffs and sunset views create a classic romantic image that many couples seek for their honeymoon. Why couples love it: Whitewashed villages, caldera views, and private boat trips around the island make Santorini feel cinematic and intimate. A private dinner in Oia or a sunrise walk before the crowds are treasured moments. Best time to visit: May–June and September when weather is warm and crowds are smaller than mid-summer. Budget (approx.): Mid-range $3,000–$5,500 (approx. INR 249,000–456,500). This range assumes flights via a European hub, 5–7 nights in a caldera-view hotel, a private boat tour, and meals at a mix of tavernas and fine-dining restaurants. Indian passport holders require a Schengen visa—prepare paperwork ahead of travel. Practical tips for Indian couples: Santorini’s paths include steep steps and cobblestones—pack comfortable, stable shoes. For modesty in religious sites, carry a light scarf or shawl. Fresh seafood and vegetarian mezze are common; let restaurants know if you prefer less spice or alternative ingredients. Reserve sunset-view restaurants or private terraces well in advance; the best spots fill quickly.
