Top Romantic Getaways in Greece for Couples

Top Romantic Getaways in Greece for Couples

Greece and romance may as well be synonymous!

Volcanic cliffs meet the beautiful blue sea where you and your loved one meet some of the most hospitable people we have found in this world.  The food makes for wonderfully romantic dinners and the culture will elevate your romance to new levels.

As a warning, if you visit Greece before you’re married like we did, you’re definitely going to be asked by about 90% of the people you meet if you’re on your honeymoon.

So when you travel with your loved one, be sure to visit these top romantic getaways in Greece!

Cliffs of Akrotiri Greece

Cliffs of Akrotiri

Escape the crowds and enjoy the beautiful views of Santorini from the Akrotiri side of the island. The affordable cliffside hotels that are rather secluded make this the most romantic side of the island.

We found a 4-star resort for $120 a night in the middle of July!

Beach in Greece

Mykonos’ Private Beaches

Rent an ATV, or 2, like we did, and explore the island in search of a private beach. We found multiple secluded beaches with the most breathtaking crystal clear blue water.

Bask in the sun the Greek way (nude) and skinny dip with your loved one.  Nudity is accepted just about everywhere in Mykonos so no need to be shy.

Sunset over Santorini

Enjoy a Sunset in Oia, Santorini

The Oia, Santorini sunset is one of the world’s most famous and most romantic sunsets. Yes, it can get quite crowded, but get to the tip of the island early and enjoy a picnic and some wine with your significant other!

Athens Acropolis

Ancient Ruins of Athens

What’s more romantic than exploring ancient ruins and finding yourselves in history? Imagining yourself as a couple thousands of years ago walking through the Acropolis can be quite a mood setter.

Or maybe we are just nerds? Not sure.

Greek Cuisine

Embrace Greek Culture

Nea Makri is a wonderful example of true local culture and is about an hour outside of Athens. Small town Greece is just like small-town Italy- an absolute dream.

It is quaint, hospitable, simple, down to earth, and filled with delicious food and wonderful people.

Nea Makri is a fine representation of small-town Greece and is a spot you should definitely make a point to visit. Not to mention, it is very near the Port of Rafina, which is a great spot to catch a ferry to the islands.

    Fall fashion is my favorite! What about you? 🍁
    ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
    My recent trip to New England was the perfect opportunity to pack my @meet.nex bags with some cute new styles perfect for any trip!

    Nex luggage is super high-quality and will hold up on any adventure. Their Million Mile Care program is also one-of-a-kind. You can trade in your used luggage towards credit for new luggage!

    I get so much use out of the Nex crossbody and backpack in Lanikai Amber—they’re my go-to for camera gear and toddler essentials. And you can style them with just about every outfit!

    Bienvenidos a Oaxaca! 🇲🇽
    ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
    I recently visited this vibrant, colorful city just in time for some of the Dia de los Muertos celebrations and it did not disappoint! From walking the cobblestone streets lined with colorful murals to witnessing centuries’ old architectural marvels, this entire city is an UNESCO World Heritage Site with beautiful sites around every corner.

    There are tons of epic @vrbo vacation homes in Oaxaca—perfect for a group trip!

    One of the major highlights of Oaxaca is the FOOD 🤤 Traditional cuisine like mole, mezcal, tlayuda, quesillo, and even… chapulines (aka fried grasshoppers! 😱) are a must. Foodies and adventurous diners alike will find themselves with more than a few delicious options here in Oaxaca.

    Add these highlights to your Oaxaca bucket list:

    🇲🇽 Shop at the artisan markets
    🇲🇽 Get down on some delicious street food
    🇲🇽 Try a traditional cooking class
    🇲🇽 Take a day trip to Hierve el Agua
    🇲🇽 Experience a temazcal ceremony
    🇲🇽 Discover the countless murals
    🇲🇽 Visit during Dia de Los Muertos

    Did you know you can also book activities with some of the best local, hidden gems, through @expedia?

    Try a traditional cooking class, book a local photographer, or enjoy a mezcal and mole tasting with a certified sommelier through the @Expedia app!

    Have you been to Oaxaca? What time of year did you go and what was your favorite part??

    Is this the cutest town in Vermont? 🍁
    ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
    This is Day 5 of our New England Road Trip with a Toddler Series! We stayed at the @woodstock.inn for 2 nights and set aside a full day to explore Woodstock .

    With Woodstock Inn & Resort is situated in the heart of Woodstock, so it gave us the perfect opportunity to explore the town by foot. There are cute shops, cafes, and it’s so festive during foliage season.

    My number one tip here is to reserve your room at Woodstock Inn early! Woodstock is a small town, and especially during fall foliage season, it can be fully booked up a year in advance.

    BONUS TIP: We booked our room through Amex Travel and got tons of perks like early check-in/late check-out, daily breakfast for 2, a room upgrade, guaranteed 4 pm check-out, and a $100 resort credit (which mama DEF used for a massage at the spa).

    We spent our morning at @billingsfarm and got to meet some dairy cows and other farm animals. Kids will love this spot!

    In town, be sure to grab a Maple Creemee (a maple soft serve ice cream) from @woodstockscoops. Visit the F. H. Gillingham & Sons General Store to shop for TONS of local products like maple syrup. And The Village Butcher Shop is a great deli for yummy sandwiches & deli meats & cheese.

    We wanted to eat at @simonpearcerestaurant but it was already fully booked (two months in advance!!!) so plan ahead.

Stay tuned for Day 6 for apple picking, cider donuts, and the cutest family-friendly lodge in Vermont!

    It’s time to add the “Kanc” to your bucket list! 🪣🗒️
    ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
    The “Kanc” aka The Kancamagus Scenic Byway is a 34.5-mile-long state highway that winds through the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire. This might just be one of the most scenic drives in the US—especially if you’re coming during Fall foliage season.

    You can drive the byway without stopping in about 45 minutes, but you’ll wanna plan for at least half a day, if not a full day, to explore it to the fullest.

    Because we were with a toddler, we limited our stops to the Albany Covered Bridge, Sabbaday Falls, and the Panoramic Overlook. But, consider adding these stops as well:

    - Lower Falls
    - Rocky Gorge Scenic Area
    - Sugar Hill Scenic Vista
    - Hancock Overlook

    TIP: We started at 7 am (toddler life) and I highly recommend starting your day early! This is a super famous destination for leaf peeping in the fall so we were shocked that we had most of these areas to ourselves until about noon.

    The Albany Bridge is a super scenic stop—the foliage is so beautiful along the riverbank and the wooden bridge makes for amazing photos.

    Sabbaday Falls is the perfect kid-friendly hike, minimal crowds, and such a great view of the scenery through the thicket of colorful foliage and cascading waterfalls.

    And the Panoramic Overlook is on the far west end of the byway and has some of the best sweeping views.

    You can stop for lunch in Lincoln or North Woodstock, NH.

    TIP: All of the little towns in NH and VT are short-staffed during foliage season because there is SO much tourism. You’ll need to pre-book reservations at restaurants or be prepared to wait 1+ hrs (or longer).

    Then is was off to Vermont! After a long drive (and car nap for Ollie), we checked into the famous @woodstock.inn in Woodstock, VT. We wandered through town and enjoyed the Farmer’s Market on the Green (Wednesdays) before calling it a night!

    Check back for Vlog 5 as we kick off our time in Vermont—farms, apple picking, and the best spots for foliage!
