Hello!
I am planning my honeymoon in Greece for late August. We land on August 24th and fly to Santorini the morning of September 3rd. We like history, architecture, etc. however our favourite way to travel is to wander, eat, relax, and leave room for spontaneity. We are in our early thirties.
This is the itinerary so far:
Aug 24
Athens Airport → Ano Fanari, Epidaurus area
Drive: 2 hr 15 min – 2 hr 45 min Arrive: Will likely get to Epidaurus area around 3-4 then we will play in the water and go out for dinner.
- I was thinking of booking the Ammor Beach house is Nisida however some of the reviews have freaked me out. We would like somewhere cute and somewhat secluded for the first two nights (we are travelling right after our wedding and would welcome some respite)
- Any recommendations for where to stop on our drive to Epicurus area? We hope to be leaving the airport with our car around 12:15pm.
- Any dinner recommendations?
August 25
- cafe for breakfast? Open to suggestions.
- Explore convent
- Picnic lunch near an ancient place (Demos?)
- Wander? Pirate a boat? Who knows!
Aug 26
Ano Fanari, Epidaurus area → Nafplio
Drive: 50 min – 1 hr 10 min
- Lots of wandering planned, apparently this is a pretty charming place. Hoping to book a cooking class for us.
- Any must-dos/sees/eats in the are?
Aug 29
Nafplio → Gerolimenas
Drive: 2 hr 45 min – 3 hr 15 min
- We have a cute hotel booked, would love any recommendations.
Aug 31
Gerolimenas → Agios Ioannis, Arcadia
Drive: 2 hr 15 min – 2 hr 45 min
- To the mountains we go!
Sept 1 - Sept 2
- I wanted to plan it such that we make our way closer to Athens over the two days and end up a maximum of 1.5 hours away from the airport the night of September 2nd. Would greatly appreciate any recommendation!
Thank you lovely people!
