Among the many popular honeymoon destinations, Greece offers popular attractions that a couple can embark upon alone, allowing them the privacy and romance their looking for in a honeymoon.  Last year, the country attracted more than a half million American visitors.

 Most who travel to Greece follow the more popular basic itinerary, which consists of two nights in Athens with a tour of the Acropolis, a visit to the great acheaological museum, and another day with a tour of the archaeological sites on the mainland, including Delphi, Corinth, Olympia, Epidaurus and Mycenar, and then they move on to the islands, getting there either by cruise or air or ferry.  And here comes an essential part of staying in Greece; sea travel.  Whether by ferry, cruises, or yachts, traveling by sea is a vital part of fully appreciating Greece.  Cruising is comfortable and ferries bring you close to the local inhabitants, but yachts offer the most intimate exploration of the islands.  Yachts can get into tiny coves and harbors that are so beautiful.  Yachts usually scheduale one meal per day at a port, and most yachts feature kitchens and most crew’s include cooks.

 Almost all travel to Greece begins and ends in Athens, which has went through a complete cleanup and upgrade since the 2004 Olympics, including a new airport, improved roads, a new subway and renovated hotels.  Also, certain downtown streets have been closed off to auto traffic so that people walking can walk from Syntagma Swuare all the way to the Plaka, the Agora and the Acropolis easily.
