Especially with destinations like Thessaloniki on your Greece honeymoon itinerary. The second largest city is home to innumerable heritage sites and locales, museums and galleries, to sightsee.

Best time to visit Greece
At any moment, you can always find a plethora of Greece tour packages for couples. So, the
best time to visit the country really depends on the kind of experiences you wish to enjoy together. There are two main seasons — a hot, dry summer and cool, wet winter. A mild transitional spring and autumn occur too, often providing the ideal climes and conditions for a wonderful yet affordable Greece honeymoon.
Summer: If a beach vacation or Greek island-hopping is what you and your love would enjoy the most, the sunny summers are the time for your Greece honeymoon. Water sports, diving, swimming, sunbathing and hiking — this is the best time for it all.
Keep in mind that this is peak tourist season so book in advance to beat the crowds.
Winter: Winters in Greece are cool and rainy, making it off-season for most tourist activities. But it’s a great time to book a Greece honeymoon package as the top attractions are much less crowded, and while it isn’t beach weather, there are still plenty of activities and sensational views to keep you happy. Especially the walking tours that you can take on without worrying about the blistering heat!
