Romantic Greece and Italy Trips & Honeymoon Packages

What our customers ask about Romantic Greece and Italy Trips & Honeymoon Packages

• What's the best time of year for couples to visit Greece and Italy?

  If you want to avoid peak tourist season but still enjoy great weather, plan your trip in spring (April-May) or early fall (September-October). The temperature sits comfortably between 68-77°F (20-25°C) in both countries - perfect for exploring without getting too hot. September is especially nice on the Amalfi Coast with temperatures around 75°F (24°C), while Athens sees beautiful 70°F (21°C) days in spring that are ideal for walking around the Acropolis. As one couple told us on TourRadar, "May was perfect for our trip - warm enough for evening walks but not too hot for sightseeing, plus the flowers were blooming in both countries."

• What unique couple experiences are available on these tours?

  You can share special moments together like taking a private boat to Capri's Blue Grotto, sipping wine at sunset in Delphi with valley views below, or having a cozy dinner in one of Plaka's family-run tavernas. In Santorini, you can learn to cook Greek dishes together or go on an evening boat ride as the sun sets. One traveler mentioned, "The evening boat ride along Venice's canals followed by dinner at a local restaurant was incredibly romantic." You'll also get to explore unique places like the cone-shaped trulli houses in Alberobello and watch local Greek dancers perform traditional shows.

• What are the most romantic locations included in Greece and Italy tours for couples?

  The Amalfi Coast is one of the most romantic spots, especially Positano with its pretty streets and the Church of Santa Maria Assunta at sunset. In Greece, Santorini is famous for its beautiful views over the caldera, while the seaside town of Nafplio offers quiet evening walks past its old Venetian fortress. The Amalia Hotel there is particularly nice for couples. Many travelers tell us they love evening walks through Plaka in Athens, where you can find cozy tavernas and often hear Greek music playing in the streets.

• What special romantic experiences or optional activities are available for couples?

  You can add special experiences to your trip like watching Greek folk shows over dinner in Athens ($60 per person), taking boat trips around Capri at sunset ($40 per person), or joining Greek cooking classes together. Every tour includes nice touches like boat rides to Capri's Blue Grotto and watching the sunset from Santorini. In the evenings, you'll get rides to romantic neighborhoods like Trastevere in Rome and Plaka in Athens. If you're on the Scenic Eclipse II cruise, you can try different restaurants - there are 10 to choose from, including French food at Lumière and Asian dishes at Koko's.

• What type of accommodations can couples expect on these tours?

  You'll stay in nice hotels that work well for couples, like the Pineta Palace in Rome and the Panorama Palace in Meta di Sorrento, which has beautiful views of the sea. In Athens, the Novotel Athenes gives you comfortable rooms with city views. Most hotels are 4-star with modern rooms, private bathrooms, and often nice extras like balconies. One traveler wrote, "The hotels were clean, comfortable and perfectly located for romantic evening strolls, especially in Sorrento where our balcony overlooked the Mediterranean."

• What dining experiences are available for couples?

  You'll get a mix of group meals and free nights to have dinner on your own. In Greece, you can enjoy taverna dinners with Greek music and dancing, while in Italy you'll find lots of cozy local restaurants. Some highlights include dinner with a view at rooftop spots like Le Sirenuse in Positano, and authentic Greek tavernas in Athens' Plaka district. Our travelers often mention loving "the private dinner arrangements in Sorrento overlooking the Bay of Naples, and the romantic wine tasting sessions in Greek family-owned vineyards."
