Honeymoon
Have any of you visited Greece?

FH and I have been looking into places for our honeymoon and are interested in visiting Greece. We are unsure of where to visit in Greece and, unfortunately, we don't know anybody who has ever visited there. We know of Athens, Mykonos and Santorini, as those are the major islands. Are there any other islands that are worth visiting?

Santorini was amazing!!  I can highly recommend a hotel called Ilioperato - they weren't very well known when we went, they are pretty new but soo private and we just loved it.  In fact my profile picture is from the little courtyard in front of our room.  I'd suggest doing some sort of day cruises or something to see the other Islands aswell though. They are all just amazing!

We really wanted to go to Greece for our honeymoon however its kind of dangerous right now due to riots related the the country going bankrupt.

@ missylou: The pictures I've seen on the Internet of Santorini are just beautiful!  I will definitely have to look into that hotel you suggested.  Thanks for the recommendation!

@ soon2beachan: Someone else mentioned that to me, as well.  I have spoken with a couple of travel agents, as well as done research on the Internet, and it seems that it is not dangerous to travel to Greece.  It is mainly strikes that are occurring right now, as opposed to violent riots.  They are similar to any workers striker and a lot of them are peaceful, which is reassuring :)
