"With their ancient temples, blonde sand beaches and whitewashed villages, the best Greek islands for couples were made for exploring hand in hand. Romance seems to shimmer in the hot air as you stroll cobbled alleys shaded by the bright confetti of bougainvillea and lined with hip boutiques perfect for buying that extra special something for your extra special other, and passion is bound to blossom when you sit and sip syrupy Elliniko café - or tumblers of anise-scented ouzo - in a taverna bang on the water's edge whilst whispering sweet nothings to the one you love."
"227 inhabited islands - along with a dazzling array of deserted atolls where you can play Robinson Crusoe for the day - means that you have plenty to choose from: whether you want a large lively island where you can have lots of splashy water fun and then dance together until dawn, or prefer to chill on low-key atolls in tranquil coves lapped by waters the colour of peacock feathers and not another soul in sight."
"When it comes to loved-up places to stay, Greece has them in spades. Think: cave cocoons with steamy hot tubs teetering on the volcanic caldera's dizzy rim; adults-only resorts with capacious suites and lashings of luxurious extras where you won't want to leave your bed, or dreamy seaside beauties with candlelit terraces, Michelin-starred eateries and state-of-the-art spas. Whether you're planning to renew vows, indulge in a romantic break, pop the question or say 'I do', glorious, glamorous Greece has got you (and your loved one) covered."
"It might suffer from overtourism in the height of summer, but you just can't deny the lure of Santorini with its dramatic views, exotic black and red sand beaches, cocoon-like cave hotels and sultry sunsets that spool their net of gold and scarlet over blue-domed churches and wedding-cake white villages teetering on the volcanic caldera's black-walled rim."
Greek islands provide romantic landscapes for couples, featuring ancient temples, blonde sand beaches, whitewashed villages, and bougainvillea-lined cobbled alleys with boutique shopping.
