Romantic Cities of Greece

929

There’s no place like Greece & the Greek Islands for a truly classic honeymoon experience & indeed, many of its island resorts were built primarily with romance in mind. At Cavo Tagoo Resort on Mykonos, for example, the overall seductive design screams romance & intimacy-everything from the infinity pool overlooking the blue Aegean Sea, to the chic, luxurious & comfortable rooms & suites, all designed to embody a contemporary minimalist island aesthetic while remaining true to the traditional character & architecture of the Cycladic Islands. All modern amenities & conveniences are provided to ensure an experience of utter comfort in an elegantly minimalist & relaxed chic setting, while excellent touches of luxury are added such as jacuzzi tubs & private pools. The Cavo Tagoo Spa is also designed with a focus on classic Greek beliefs & legends & has been ideally placed in a unique location immersed in Cycladean light, facing Delos, the birthplace of the mythical God of the sun, Apollo. Its mission, they say, “…is to fuse the latest in international spa trends with a simultaneous, traditional Greek approach to wellness & beauty in our award-winning treatments & products. The Cavo Tagoo Spa Experience is an indigenous journey of the six senses-see, smell, touch, hear, feel, & experience.” Couples can also take tours to Delos, charter boats or rent cars for trips to the Mykonos town.

On Santorini, honeymoon and lovers will be mesmerized by the Andronis Luxury Suites, a breathtaking all-suite boutique hotel that sits high above the sea with panoramic views of a volcano or caldera soaring into the sky across the water. The property offers five different suite categories with the first three offering spacious living areas, separate bedrooms and private, seaview verandahs, while the exceptional suite category offers a jacuzzi and a jet pool, while the pool suite offers an infinity pool overlooking the sea. Needless to say, there’s plenty of 21st century comforts and amenities including satellite TV, CD player, wireless internet and international telephony-all offered in a classical but timeless island setting. The onsite restaurant serves local cuisine with traditional recipes that include virgin olive oil, fresh vegetables, Greek herbs and succulent meats, blended with organic ingredients and elements of nouvelle cuisine to create a superlative menu-all washed down with some of Santorini’s famous local wines, cultivated from the island’s very own vineyards. There is also a special selection of international wines. Mare Et Sanus Spa, inspired by Greek nature and the healing power of the gods, offers massages and body treatments or even a complete Day Spa Program. Local ingredients such as propolis, tomato, cucumber, orange, fig, cinnamon and almond are all part of the spa’s unique, different treatments that relax, rejuvenate and revitalize.
