Greece, ‘the land of the gods’, is dripping with romance from its melodramatic myths to its golden sunsets, forget-me-not blue skies and shimmering ocean. Wander hand-in-hand through endless olive orchards and explore whimsical whitewashed villages. Enjoy romantic dinners for two and sample the many delectable dishes including fresh fish caught straight from the sea, honeyed soft cheeses and warm bread baked with olives. For exhausted parents escaping their children (with love) for a few weeks, Greece couples holidays are the perfect opportunity to re-discover a forgotten passion and zest for life. Savour a strong-brew coffee in a cafe full of young people and remember what it feels like to be young and in love, watch life unfold in busy squares and get away from the madness on an intimate sailing trip.

Greece is blessed with stunning beaches, enchanting villages and striking sunsets, all of which make it a natural romantic getaway destination for two. Island hopping is an ideal choice for a couples holiday in Greece, and we can suggest plenty of wonderful options. Experience the more intimate side of the Cyclades with a trip to Sifnos and Milos, two of the most authentic islands in the Aegean Sea. Sifnos has some picturesque hikes along idyllic mule trails, while Milos, nicknamed ‘the island of colour’, is dotted with whitewashed villas juxtaposed against emerald sea. Santorini is one of the more well-known Cyclades and yet equally enchanting. Here you’ll find the instantly recognisable views of cliffside villages and breath-taking sunsets over the village of Oia, which are famed for good reason. The island is also home to beaches of various colours, adorned with black, red and white lava pebbles.


The Ionian Islands are another dream destination for a romantic couples holiday in Greece. Corfu’s architectural heritage is imbued with Venetian, French and British influences, reflecting it’s varied history before being unified with Greece in 1864. Paxos has similarly intriguing architecture and both islands are ultimate destinations for some much needed relaxation; boasting scenic sandy beaches and azure ocean, you’ll feel a world away from everyday life on this idyll in the Ionian Sea.


The Greek cuisine deserves a mention, and candle-lit dinners for two will likely include the freshest fish, warm baked bread, high-quality wines made from local grapes and much more. While relaxation might be top of your to-do list on your couples holiday in Greece, your itinerary can also include swimming, windsurfing and sailing, if you’re feeling more energetic. Be transported by yacht around the untouched coastline of Antipaxos, or head to the uninhabited island of Delos to learn about the ancient traditions of the Aegean world. As the backdrop for numerous mythical romantic tales, the Greek Islands remain the ideal setting to live out your own modern love story and celebrate time together as a two.
