Santorini Honeymoon

Santorini Honeymoon Cave Villa

Celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in your life and book the ultimate honeymoon in Santorini and stay at Demeter Cave House, a luxury cave villa in Pyrgos.

Located in the southern Aegean Sea, Santorini belongs to the chain of islands called the Cyclades. Famous for the dramatic caldera formed when the volcano erupted more than 3,500 years ago, a trip to Santorini means you can enjoy some of the most iconic views in the Med with your loved one.

The first time you set eyes on Santorini and see those snow-white layers of cave houses on top of the cliff dotted with blue infinity pools and blue domed churches, it will remind you of a fairytale.

When you venture out you’ll find a holiday together as newlyweds can be relaxed and chilled out or full of activities and experiences. Visit archaeological ruins that rival Pompeii, wander around the villages of the caldera, a zigzag of cobbled streets filled with white washed Cycladic buildings and blue domed churches, and relax on jet black volcanic beaches. Sip on Santorini wines, sample delicious Greek food in candle-lit restaurants and bag a table in a romantic bar and watch the famous Santorini sunset.

Honeymoon Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About a Santorini Honeymoon

We recommend you start planning this special event as soon as possible. Many locations begin to fill up a year prior to a visit, especially the peak months from June to September. Additionally, we offer the best rates and benefits when you book early. If you also consider our fully flexible booking policy, it definitely pays to book as soon as possible.

The absolute minimum number of nights we recommend is 3. Sure it’s possible to see the highlights in 2 nights, but you’ll have very little time for relaxing, and you will feel rushed.  We believe your honeymoon should combine relaxation and exploration, so give yourselves enough time to do both.  At Demeter Cave House the average duration is 5 nights, the most popular is 7 nights and the longest 14 nights. 

There isn’t a best month to visit Santorini. It simply depends on what you’d like to do, your budget and your overall holiday itinerary.  The main tourist season normally starts in April and finishes at the end of October.  Increasingly, however the off season months are being more popular.

If beach and sea time are important to you, then the best time to visit Santorini for good weather, boat tours, swimming and  sunbathing is June to September.  That said even in May, the weather is warm and it’s possible spend time on the beaches, although the sea isn’t at its hottest.  October has warm sunny days too, and the sea temperature is still pleasant.  If beach time and hot weather are not your number 1 priority and you’re more interested in sightseeing and exploring then late March, April, May, October, and early November are also great months.

The price of a honeymoon in Santorini, just as with other destinations in the world varies enormously. The most expensive rooms on the caldera reach dizzying heights. One thing to bear in mind in Santorini is that you should budget for eating out, excursions and activities. These can add up.  Having said that Pyrgos village, the location of Demeter Cave House has some excellent value restaurants where the prices are not artificially inflated just because of the Santorini name. 

What’s more, the rates at Demeter Cave House start from 150 Euros per night based on 2 people sharing. Check availability here for the best rates, benefits and flexibility.

Whilst we hope you won’t need to cancel or re-arrange your honeymoon due to COVID, we are aware this may be unavoidable. That’s why we offer a fully flexible booking policy.
