Santorini: Artemis Villas (highly recommend. Stay in Imerovigli, not in Fira or Oia)

Where are you traveling from? PDX
We had a blast! Don't stay in Athens more than two days, and do it at the end. Santorini was nice, but spendy and kind of boring. The beaches aren't very good, and neither is most of the food. Visiting wineries, sunbathing, and watching the sunset is about all there is to do - unless you want to buy crappy souvenirs. Go, but only for about 4 days. We loved Chania, and Crete overall!!! The beaches are fantastic, the food is great, everything is much less expensive, and the sunsets are just as great. We wished we had more time to explore the island.

Mrs. Penguin also went! That's how I heard about the place. She talks about it HERE and HERE
Hey Wiglet! I don't mind at all. To be honest, we saved for about 2.5 years to pay for the wedding/HM. We probably paid for the flight and hotel using our savings and then all the expenditures on the HM, we used gift money from the wedding (like food, souvenirs, massages, scuba diving, other excursions).
It was A LOT of fun and the destination is breathtakingly gorgeous. It's definitely a once-in-a-lifetime trip (at least for us!) and I would say if you can afford it for like a 10 year anniversary trip, DO IT! And definitely get the overwater bungalow :o)

Proximity to Times Square is important!

my fiance's parents were wonderful and decided to treat us to the whole honeymoon, so i have no idea how much it will cost! the hotels are really spiffy, and we both can't wait to explore! :-)
Lillindy: You left on our wedding day
Was it super hot when you went on your honeymoon?
NorCalBride: How funny, my wedding was the day before I left. It was perfect weather, just a little humid. It rained one night, then the last day or 2 we were there, but it was still so nice and warm. Loved it!
