Athen in Griechenland is a destination that Honeymoon plans for couples who focus on togetherness, calm and privacy. Behind it stands Honeymoon, a Swiss travel agency with video consultation that puts honeymoons together individually. With the planner, you state your wishes for two, and the discussion of the trip follows in the video call.

Why this trip
An Acropolis that glows golden in the evening, and below it tavernas with tables in the street: for couples, Athens is more than a stopover before the islands. From May to June and from September to October the temperatures are pleasant for walks. The Parthenon towers on the citadel hill, and the ancient Agora below it is a green place for a quiet morning. Lycabettus Hill offers a path through woodland to a viewpoint where you can see the whole city at sunset.
Philopappos Hill opposite is less visited and suits a still evening. The city's hotels include the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel and the Hotel Grande Bretagne. Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and Santorini are neighbours that can be reached by ferry or flight. The language is Greek.
Swiss guests travel visa-free (Schengen), and the flight takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. Two nights in Athens are enough before moving on to the islands. Honeymoon will discuss on the video call what that could look like.
