\n\nThere is so much going for Crete, the largest island in Greece, that it is difficult to limit it to only one short introductory paragraph. From glistening covers with sandy beaches, to noble mountaintops, through fertile valleys & steep gorges, this island bursts with the relics of numerous civilizations & astounding natural beauty … all ready and waiting for you to discover! A stay of 2 days might be enough explore the highlights of its main city Heraklion & nearby Knossos Palace<\/a> or relax at one of its numerous resorts, but you would need a lifetime to truly appreciate all its treasures, not least of which is its rich gastronomic culture. Crete is one of the islands that is great all year round, not only just for the summer months.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll provide more information about Crete soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Required budget – Cost of your Greece honeymoon package<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are many factors such as length of stay, class of hotels, month of travel, number of activities you decide to include, etc. that will affect the total budget for your Greece honeymoon. It will be determined according to your preferences therefore it is not that easy to give a “general off the cuff estimate”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A hotel may cost 100$ per night or 1000$ per night. The hotels mentioned in this article are luxury options but we do also cater for those with a leaner budget. Feel free to reach us (noting all items that you would like to include \/ items that would make this the best experience for you) and we will be happy to return with more details and a price estimate (quote). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When to go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The best time to visit Greece – when taking into account factors such as weather, crowds & budget – are mid April through mid June & from mid September through mid October. During these months you can enjoy pleasant sun filled days with light breezes, not have to endure overcrowding (half of Europe spends its July-August summer holidays here) and there is also a greater chance of finding availability in the hotels of your dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The peak months of July & August, with its scorching sun, may be difficult to endure for those that are not wanting to spend most of their time swimming in the sea or lazing on the beach suntanning. Winter season is not the best choice for island hopping itineraries, though still possible of course, as many ferry companies stop operating numerous routes & connections during these months and 90% of hotels and restaurants are closed on the islands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winter is more a time to experience the treasures of the mainland for those that wish to focus on history and archaeological sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
