'10er Crashing- Honeymooning in Mykonos and Santorini

I had a giant moment of panic today as I'm only 3 months away from my wedding, and I realized I have done nothing, besides book the trip, to plan for the Honeymoon. Does anyone have tips on must-see things or awesome restaurants in Athens, Santorini and Mykonos? If it helps, we're staying at the Royal Myconian in Mykonos and the Ira Hotel in Santorini. Thanks in advance!!

I stayed at the Royal Mykonian back in 2001 when I went to Greece with 2 girlfriends. It was absolutely beautiful. The pool area is breathtaking. I don't remember the beach all that much. We did some spa treatments at the hotel which were really nice.

We ate lunch at the restaurant by the pool and it was just 'ok' better to head into town I think.

On Santorini, we took a snorkel boat trip to the volcano and toured Akrotiri.

Sorry I'm not more help - it's been a long time since I went to Greece.

I went on a cruise for my honeymoon. In Mykonos, we rented a quad and toured the island that way. It was the best. We went to paradise beach. It was fun, but a huge party scene which isnt my dh's scene. I loved it though. I definitely recommend the quad because it is much faster than walking up and down all the hills.

Santorini, we just walked around and shopped, so I cant help with that although I would not recommend walking down the pathway from the top of the island. Take the cable car!!!!

Enjoy your trip!!! It is gorgeous there!!!

We stayed at the Royal Mykonian. They have a shuttle every hour on the half hour to town...I'd spend time at the hotel during the day laying out/pool/beach and then at 630 or so we'd go to town, walk around, shop eat and drink. I don't know where the party scene is but I didn't see much? We were there in September though which is post party season.

In Santorini, we rented a quad, did the red beach and black beach, we went down to this super cute area, I think it was Kamari. There are a bunch of great restaurants and shops there.

See a sunset in Oia, while you're watching it, enjoy a table at Kastro's...best views ever!!!!!!

In Athens, we stayed at the King George, saw the changing of the guard at what I think was called the Constitution Hall, went to the Acropolis and shopped...we were only here for a day?

Hope that helps!!!!! FM me if you have any other Q's
