Santorini Honeymoon 5N is a five-night land package for couples who want caldera views, slow evenings and a private sunset cruise. It starts with one night in Athens, so you can rest after the long flight, and then moves to Santorini for four nights in a caldera-view room in Fira or Imerovigli.
Day one is an easy arrival in Athens, with an evening walk through Plaka. On day two you travel to Santorini by ferry or domestic flight, as your planner confirms. Days three to five leave room for the caldera walk from Fira towards Oia, a visit to one of the island's black-sand beaches or Red Beach, a private sunset cruise and a couples spa treatment. Oia at sunset is busy, so an early start or a view from the water is often more relaxed.
Ground travel is by private vehicle, with daily breakfast, airport and port transfers, the caldera-view room, the sunset cruise and visa assistance included. Flights to Athens, the Schengen visa fee, travel insurance, other meals and personal spending are extra. Read the Greece travel guide, best time to visit Greece and Greece trip cost before you choose your dates.
Your trip expert can stretch, shorten or swap any day.
Land in Athens and transfer to your central hotel by private vehicle. Check in and rest after the journey. In the evening, take a short walk through Plaka, the old neighbourhood below the Acropolis. Keep this evening light, because a long flight is tiring and the next day involves a transfer to the islands.
After breakfast, transfer to the airport or port for your onward journey to Santorini, by ferry or domestic flight, as your planner confirms. Check in to your caldera-view room in Fira or Imerovigli and take your first look at the view. Plan to watch the sunset from the caldera edge, where the villages and the water are visible together.
Start early for the caldera walk from Fira towards Oia, which follows paths and steps along the cliff edge. Stop for coffee in the villages, and go early so the route is quieter. Wear comfortable shoes, because the steps are steep and the cobblestones uneven. In the afternoon, rest at your hotel or visit a beach.
Spend the morning at leisure, then board your private sunset cruise around the caldera in the late afternoon. Sunset cruises fill quickly in peak season, so your planner should confirm the booking before you travel. Return to the island for a relaxed dinner, which suits a couples evening.
Take a slower day. Visit one of Santorini's black-sand beaches or Red Beach, which is known for its red volcanic cliffs. In the afternoon, enjoy your couples spa treatment at the hotel or a nearby spa. Pack a light bag for the next day, because the transfer to the airport or port comes early.
Enjoy breakfast and check out. Your private transfer takes you to the airport or port, leaving time for check-in and any ferry or flight delay. You will connect back through Athens for your flight home. Travellers advise leaving a buffer when the island transfer falls on the same day as an international flight.
Flights are not included.
One night in Athens and four on Santorini, so you pack and unpack only twice.
Caldera-view rooms are arranged in Fira or Imerovigli. Room types vary, so confirm the view with your planner when you enquire.
Santorini has steep stairs and uneven cobblestones, so travellers often advise comfortable shoes and light luggage.
Oia at sunset is very busy. An early start or a sunset cruise gives a calmer view of the caldera.
Ferries between Athens and the islands can be delayed by wind, so keep a buffer before any international flight.
Sunset cruises and spa bookings need to be confirmed in advance during peak season.
Flights are not included. Direct IndiGo services operate from Delhi and Mumbai to Athens, but schedules change, so check before booking.
Visa assistance is included. The Schengen visa fee and travel insurance are extra.
FAQs
What travellers ask about this trip. Your trip expert can answer anything else.
Yes. It is built for couples, with a caldera-view room, a private sunset cruise and a couples spa treatment. Tell your planner your anniversary or preferred dates, and they will check whether the room and cruise timings can be arranged to suit your plans.
Athens is the main arrival airport, so one night gives you time to rest after an overnight flight and see Plaka. Most of the trip is on Santorini, where the caldera views, sunsets and beaches are. If you also want the Acropolis, ask your planner about adding a second night in Athens.
No. Flights are booked separately, and our planners can suggest arrival and departure timings from Delhi or Mumbai. IndiGo operates direct services between both cities and Athens, but schedules change, so confirm the flight before you pay for the package.
Most travellers take a ferry or a domestic flight. Ferries and high-speed catamarans run from Athens-area ports, with fares commonly about EUR 35 to EUR 100 depending on route and vessel. Your planner will confirm the option that suits your flight and avoids a tight connection.
April and May, and September and October, suit Santorini best, with warm weather and fewer crowds than July and August. Summer is hot and busy, and ferry demand and prices are highest then. Strong winds can disrupt sailings in August, so allow a buffer.
Yes. Visa assistance is included. The Schengen visa fee and travel insurance are extra. Greece normally takes applications no earlier than six months and at least 15 days before travel, so apply early and confirm the current fee with the visa process.
