Whether you choose Crete as your sole destination for a honeymoon or you combine a visit to the island with a stay on other romantic Greek destinations, such as Santorini or Paros, finding the right honeymoon hotel is key to living an amazing experience.

Crete is the perfect place to relax by the sea, admire incredible landscapes, enjoy adventures together, and marvel at incredibly romantic sunsets.

Where to Stay in Crete for a Honeymoon

You can divide your time between the seaside and the mountains, discover fantastic old towns with a glorious past, and be pampered in a beautiful honeymoon hotel that specializes in romantic packages for couples.

The city of Chania, in west Crete, is an ideal area to stay if you’re keen on beach life. The region counts some of the most beautiful beaches in Crete. Yet, that’s not all. The region of Chania is perfect for adventurous experiences, including trekking, hiking, biking, and lots of water sports.

Moreover, Chania’s Old Town is a picturesque place with gorgeous alleys, shops, restaurants, and dozens of incredibly romantic boutique hotels.

Choosing Rethymnon, instead, is also a great idea. Home to a charming Venetian harbor, cobblestoned alleys, and dozens of refined restaurants, the city is a super romantic destination in Crete.

And if you rent a car, you can explore the mountain villages and the southern coast of the region. Two of the best things to do in Rethymnon.

In the region of Heraklion, you and your partner will be up for a treat when it comes to incredible archaeological sites, unique wines, and intense nightlife.

The capital is also a good place to stay if you don’t want to drive and prefer to rely on public transportation since Heraklion is virtually connected to every important city, town, or settlement in Crete.

Finally, Agios Nikolaos, the capital of the Lasithi region, promises an authentic and relaxing vacation for two and a fantastic base for day trips in the mountains, visits to mysterious caves, or picturesque settlements in one of the most stunning plateaus in Europe.
