Romantic getaways

Written on 18 Feb 2014

A homage to Eros, the God of Love.

Beauty in Greece is exquisite; timeless; unspoiled. It was in this sacred land that love was born in ancient times. Greece is the birthplace of the winged God Eros, the son of Aphrodite; the God who was shooting magic, golden arrows into the hearts of both mortals and immortals spreading love, desire, but also pain. It was him who inspired artists and writers over the centuries to praise the virtues of love.

Whether you are looking for an ideal honeymoon destination or just a romantic escape, the beauty and diversity of the Greek landscape forms the most romantic backdrop to celebrate your love.

Search for your fairy-tale romance in the Greek islands, a perfect honeymoon destination bathed in sunlight all year long. Explore with your “Eros” the islands on a cruise and enjoy sun-kissed beaches, picturesque landscapes, cosmopolitan resorts and taste exquisite local dishes. Enjoy the unrivaled sunset from picturesque Oia with the breathtaking view on the volcano, stroll around the white washed houses smiling to the crystal-clear deep blue sea and blinking the eye to the cosmopolitan night life, relax in the cooling shadow under the stately cypresses of the venetian mansions, and you will immediately feel why Santorini, Mykonos and Corfu rank among the most romantic getaways in Greece.

Set out on a journey through time and experience the sheer medieval beauty of wonderfully preserved stone-built settlements and fortified towns spread all over Greece. Be the knight or princess of your childhood fairytales in the Byzantine town of Mystras on the Peloponnese; unveil a medieval mystery in Monemvasia or rediscover romance as you enjoy fine Greek cuisine under the candle lights in one of the largest medieval towns in Europe, the old town of Rhodes;

If you are however passionate about big cities, relish blissful unforgettable moments while walking hand in hand along monumental avenues, next to dazzling archaeological masterpieces or narrow pedestrian streets under the Athenian Acropolis. Go back thousands of years to the Golden Age of Pericles and enjoy the majestic Parthenon shining in the lunar light of the full moon. Catch a bird’s eye view of Athens by night from the Lycabettus hill, the highest place with a marvelous view on this charming city.

Wherever you go, you and your partner will live unforgettable days in the most hauntingly romantic and dreamy getaways in Greece.

You will feel that the magic golden arrow of Eros has finally found its way directly into your heart.
