    I'm super excited to be almost done planning our honeymoon to Greece in September and I wanted to share our hotel choices with those of you who are thinking of going, or those who may have been and have any tips to share! I consulted Trip Advisor to book all of these hotels.

    We're flying through Madrid on the way there and back, and the layovers are fairly long (6-8 hours), so we're going to take the subway into Madrid for a meal and some quick sightseeing.

    Upon our late night arrival into Athens, we're checking into the Royal Olympic Hotel in the Acropolis neighborhood for two nights. Then we're taking a high speed ferry to Naxos where we'll be staying two nights at Nissaki Beach Hotel in St. George Beach, a ten minute walk into Naxos Town.

    After Naxos, we're taking another high speed ferry to Santorini and spending three nights at the Mill Houses in Firostefani, a smaller quieter section of the main town Fira. Then we're flying back to Athens and checking into the Airotel Parthenon for another two nights before flying back to DC!

    Has anyone stayed at any of the above hotels? Any recommendations for must-see places or restaurants to try in Madrid, Athens, Naxos, or Santorini?

    We use the Royal Olympic all the time in Athens. It's a great choice.

    We went to Crete, Santorini, and Athens for our Honeymoon this past May. I highly recommend eating at one of the restaurants in Oia, Santorini that is along the water (Sunsets is a good one). Also, check out the Caldera. Thet view is stunning and the sunsets!

    When in Athens, you should definitely check out the Flea Market/Monastiraki! Its right near the Acropolis and you can find all sorts of fun things:-) Have a great trip!!!

    Thank you so much! Our hotel in Santorini has Caldera views so I'm really looking forward to that. I love Flea Markets too so will definitely check that out.

    Sooooo jealous!  We will be doing a Greece trip in 2 years!  Please repost with details after the honeymoon (what to do, how the hotels were, food, etc!).  We are still debating between doing a cruise to Greece v. Flying right to Greece and staying on the islands.
