Greece is well known for its many idyllic locations for honeymooners with romantic settings of glorious sunshine, breathtaking sunsets and magnificent scenery and the island of Santorini is well known as one of the best for that truly romantic and unforgettable honeymoon stay.
The island of Santorini was born from a massive volcanic eruption and the fumes that still rise from the active offshore volcano creating stunning and unforgettable sunsets which results in droves of cruise ships arriving to take in and marvel at the romantic views of the volcanic nights.
Perched on the vertical cliffs that overlook the lagoon, the islandâs capital Fira is a great place to see the panoramic views of the submerged volcano that destroyed part of the island in 1956.
This village of dazzling white coloured cubed houses with blue painted doors and windows is a picturesque postcard of a typical Mediterranean community. Walking around the blue domed churches and 18th century buildings in narrow passageways that intermingle with restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and night clubs, places can still be found in Fira that are totally relaxing, quiet and un-crowded, even though it is a busy town during the summer and high season.
At a height of 260 meters and a population of 1,600 inhabitants the village of Fira is also a walking and hiking paradise for those who want to explore the off-beaten tracks where afterwards you and your loved one can unwind in one of the many downtown pavement cafes watching the world go by while sampling the local culinary delights.
