Our Greek Honeymoon: The 12-Day Itinerary

I've always known that I wanted to go on a big honeymoon trip and being the Mamma Mia-lovin' girly that I am, Greece was the obvious choice! I highly recommend Greece if you're planning a honeymoon, a big anniversary trip, or even a girls' trip.

Keep on reading for the perfect romantic yet adventurous itinerary for Athens & the Greek Islands of Santorini and Mykonos!


Day 1: A Full Travel Day (and then some) from Chicago to Athens


Greece is not a destination for cheap travel, especially if you want the boujee Greek honeymoon experience. Because of this, we decided to save a little bit of money when it came to our flight by flying out of Chicago (rather than an airport located closer to us and taking a connecting flight). Chicago is nearly an 8-hour drive from where my husband and I live, so it is definitely not convenient... but sometimes we are a little bit crazy like that!


We took on the super long drive as well as the 24-hour travel day that we had ahead of us. We arrived at O'Hare around 9 a.m. and finally landed in Athens, Greece at 9:30 a.m. local time.


Luckily, our flight to Greece was smooth sailing and we spent a lot of time snoozing, watching movies, and reading. This was my husband, Spencer's first time to Europe so it was his first super-long flight!


Day 2-3: Exploring Ancient Athens


Arriving in Athens

One of my favorite parts about European travel is that figuring out public transportation is really not that big of a challenge... especially as a Midwest girl living in a small town where there is no subway or metro.


When we arrived in Athens in the morning, I knew that I was going to be tired, disoriented, and jet-lagged but that we would immediately have to journey from the airport to our hotel in the city center.


We were able to take the train from the airport to the city center and walk to our hotel from there. Being a European city, there is hardly any traffic in the center of the city and it is all very narrow roads with cobblestone streets. Luckily, we made it in one piece with all of our luggage in tow to our hotel for the next 2 nights: Central Hotel.

I really wanted a hotel with a rooftop and a view of the Acropolis and that really helped me to know which neighborhood to stay in while we were in Athens. Plus I wanted to be centrally located for walking and exploring all of the ruins and sites. Fortunately, these wants aren't super hard to come by in the neighborhood of Plaka, so that is where we stayed.


Day 2 -Hitting the Ground Running

If you have traveled with me, you know that I like to waste no time when traveling. Because we arrived in Athens in the morning, I wanted to seize the day and make sure we did something fun on day 1.


I did have to keep my husband in mind with this because he has not traveled to Europe before & because we would both become very jet-lagged, I did not go too crazy with the itinerary on this day. I'm not that crazy... haha


Unsurprisingly, our first Greek adventure consisted of finding food (something delicious and also close by) even though it was 11 a.m. and definitely not Greek lunchtime yet. Our hotel front desk recommended a restaurant around the corner from there, which landed us right near Monastiraki Square- a perfect area for exploring, shopping, and taking in some scenery after we re-fueled.

Of course, I had a pretty hefty bucket list of Greek foods that we needed to try while in this culinarily magnificent country. Immediately we checked feta cheese, tzatziki, and greek salad off the list! We also wasted zero time with some celebratory beverages.


At this point, I vividly remember being so excited to show my husband around a European country, to put my trip-planning skills to use again, and overall just to be back in Europe once again after a few years. I definitely romanticize & miss the European lifestyle when I am at home in the states (studying abroad in college will do that to do).


Do they siesta in Greece, too?

Of course, after eating some Greek food and exploring the Plaka neighborhood we were in desperate need of a jet lag recovery nap. There is nothing quite like the tiredness that jet lag brings on and with it being so HOT in Athens in June, we were ready to crash in the hotel with some AC.


After our naps and much-needed shower & refreshing, we got drinks and dinner with a view of the Acropolis and the sunset. Overall, it was not a super eventful day but is one of those days that is good for getting acclimated and adjusted when arriving in a new country, taking it slow with no agenda is sometimes the best way to be!


Day 3 -The Parthenon, Acropolis Museum, & All the Ruins

Because of the summer heat in Athens, it is recommended to start the day off early especially if you plan to go up and see the Parthenon (the temple atop the Acropolis)! Visiting the Parthenon up close requires walking up the hill and because it is elevated it can get really hot during the middle part of the day.

Luckily, it is really easy to tackle the Parthenon first, in the morning, and follow it up with the Acropolis Museum, which is air-conditioned! I would definitely recommend and I really liked doing the two tours in this order, but they could be switched due to crowd levels or personal preference. I'm sure some people prefer to do the reading and learning prior to seeing & experiencing. We did not book any walking tours, but you definitely could do that as well!


The Parthenon is incredible! It is so fascinating to be in such a historical place that has changed so much over time. Plus, the view of Athens from the top is beautiful.

After we explored the Parthenon and the outdoor sites, we headed down to the Acropolis Museum to cool off, eat some breakfast, and do some learning!


We had life-changing Greek scrambled eggs at the Acropolis Museum Café, which we enjoyed with a stunning view of the Parthenon. These eggs were so good that we have tried our best to recreate them at home and we now eat them frequently. We think the secret is feta cheese.

Fun fact: photography is not actually allowed in the museum and we did get yelled at after taking these pictures by the museum workers. Oops.


After our big two destinations of the day, we walked around Athens checking out the other ruins such as The Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch, and the Ancient Agora of Athens all while stopping for rest breaks, food & ice cream & souvenir shopping!

It is amazing to look back and see how much ground we covered and how much we accomplished off the itinerary in one afternoon. We did a lot of walking and surprisingly, we only got lost once!


P.S. you can buy tickets to all of these sites ahead of time but it is definitely not necessary. I think you can bundle and save a little bit of $$ online! We did this for the museum but not for the Acropolis sites.


Overall, the only regret/downfall that I can find for our two days exploring Athens is that we did not have any life-changing restaurant experiences nor have any recommendations. This is mostly because we were still not on a regular eating schedule with Greek mealtimes. We would eat when we were hungry and snack when/where we found something quickly.


Also, it can be very overwhelming to find somewhere to eat in Athens because there are so many restaurants and so many people trying to persuade you to come to eat at their establishments. By the time we would venture around enough to weigh the options, we were exhausted, hangry, and no longer cared that much if where we ate was super great or not... as long as they had food.

Day 4-8: Santorini


Island Hoppin'

After exploring Athens for 2 days, it was time to hit the Greek islands of Santorini & Mykonos. There are two main ways to get from the mainland to the islands in Greece: flying & ferries. We did both!


The ferry from the mainland to Santorini would have been the longest, so to maximize our time there we decided to fly from Athens to Santorini... on the tiniest plane I have ever been on! Luckily, it was a super short and easy flight and our hotel offered airport pickup and transportation.


Where To Stay - Imerovigli or Oia?

One of the hardest parts about planning for a trip to Santorini is figuring out where to stay. Between the 3 main cities in Santorini (Oia, Imerovigli, & Fira) and the endless amount of hotels, resorts, & Airbnbs it is almost impossible to feel confident about a decision even after doing research.


There are pros and cons to each different choice! After hours and hours of research on various websites & blogs, we ultimately decided to go middle of the road as far as budget, location & amenities. It turns out the view, the location, and privacy are the 3 things that come at a price in Santorini.

  • We for sure wanted a hotel with a view of the caldera. In my opinion, in Santorini, that is a must if you are on your honeymoon. The view is incredible and the price you pay to have it is 100% worth it, especially because there are so many options for hotels with the view.

  • Location was important but in the end, we compromised because of our budget. You can get a lot more bang for your buck by staying in Imerovigli versus staying in Oia. This is because Oia is more famous, popular and poppin', & is located closer down to the water rather than higher up on the caldera cliff.

  • We also wanted a fancier hotel or resort with lots of privacy because it was for our honeymoon. Typically when we travel, we go pretty cheap on where we stay because we usually are not there for the majority of the day. We knew this would not really be the case in Santorini because one of the BEST things to do in Santorini is to sit, relax, and enjoy the view. That is why Santorini is one of the most romantic and popular destinations in the world!

After learning and researching all of this we decided to go with White Santorini Suites & Spa in Imerovigli. And obviously, I cannot speak for other resorts and others' experiences but we had the BEST experience and really would not have chosen anything different!

  • The owners we super friendly and helpful- carrying our luggage from the main check-in to our suite, giving us restaurant recommendations, booking massages & transportation for us... basically, they made it so we hardly had to lift a finger while staying there!

  • Our suite was super aesthetic and fit the vibe! It also came with a semi-private balcony with a hot tub and an incredible view. We loved our suite so much but two nights into our 4-night stay, we got upgraded to a larger, more expensive suite for free! We are not exactly sure why this happened but we felt super lucky. Our new suite had a bigger hot tub, a bigger balcony (even though it was less private), and an even better view. Score!

  • THE BREAKFAST WITH A VIEW. My favorite thing every single day in Santorini was the hotel breakfast that we were served on our balcony every morning. We would fill out a sheet with what we wanted (and it was a lot) and they would deliver it promptly every morning. And everything was DELICIOUS, especially the coffee.

Overall, I feel like we could not have picked a better hotel for our stay in Santorini. I knew we took a gamble staying in Imerovigli over Oia, but we got most of the things we wanted for a price that was within our budget. The same experience would have probably cost us double in Oia. And we realized upon arriving and visiting Oia that Imerovigli is much quieter, more private, and more relaxing than Oia, which we thought was really nice because we were on our honeymoon and just wanted to lay low. And honestly, the view is just as incredible if not better in Imerovigli.


In Oia, sunset-watching is absolute madness. People flock to Oia to watch the sunset, trying to find any sliver of a view they can with the number of people packed there. That does not really happen in Imerovigli, so if you have a room with a view of the caldera and sunset, you are good to go- no tourists standing next to your balcony to try & steal your view while you enjoy your dinner.


Day 4 - Arriving in Santorini

We arrived in Santorini & were immediately so excited to get into our hotel and begin the relaxation, especially after two very sweaty, exhausting days in Athens.


We arrived on the island but could not check in yet (always make sure you note this when planning your travel) so we dropped our luggage off at our hotel and went to Fira for lunch. Honestly, I was super skeptical when the hotel owner advised us to walk from Imerovigli to Fira (the next town over) to eat lunch at this particular restaurant only 20 minutes after arriving and having zero idea where we were or how to get around... but, he did not steer us wrong!

You can literally walk, on a nice paved trail, from Fira all the way to Oia and since Imerovigli was right next to Fira it really was not a far walk- 15 minutes maybe. Along this trail, you can see the view of the caldera almost the entire time & see Santorini's beautiful architecture. The walk was super beautiful & scenic and led us right to the restaurant, Mama Thira, (because pretty much everything is right off of this trail) with a lovely view and a great menu. We stayed and ate & drank at this restaurant for a few hours until we could walk back and check-in. It ended up being a great way to get our bearings of the island because we could see the entire island on our walk and sit and take it all in before we hit the ground running with our evening agenda.


Our evening agenda consisted of hotel chillin', couples massages, & a sunset dinner with a view. I arranged both of these activities ahead of time to ensure we would get to do them- highly recommend. This was my husband's very first massage and he LOVED it!

We did dinner at The Wine Bar, which turned out to be on top of our hotel suite. Literally, we walked up one flight of stairs that was right off our balcony (because everything is stacked in Santorini) and we found it!


The view was great (and they give you a blanket if you get chilly)! The food... not so much. We waited an extremely long time for one singular wood-fired grilled pizza. This was a bit disappointing because by the time we got it, we were starving but really no longer wanted it & because it was our first night in Santorini. We actually ended up taking the pizza to go (I don't think we had to pay for it because we waited so long) and eating it down in our suite while drinking champagne!


Day 5 - Hiking on our Honeymoon (because duh!)


Our morning started out with our first delicious Greek breakfast. We both tried some omelets and had a variety of other breakfast foods with the view of the blue, blue water down below. Gosh, I miss it!


We ate and relaxed, starting off our morning nice and slow in preparation for the hike we had planned for the day.






On the same trail and the one we walked on from Imerovigli to Fira, you can walk/hike from Imerovigli to Oia (in the opposite direction). It was a pretty mild hike but it took us a few hours. Luckily, the view kept us entertained the entire way and it was not super hot.


We walked all the way to Oia and through Oia down to the Ammoudi Bay, which is at the very end of the island and is down by the water. Down here, there are a few restaurants and many boats! We ate lunch at the Ammoudi Fish Tavern, treating ourselves to some spectacular seafood with a marvelous view. Make sure to make reservations here!

It is also helpful to note that there are two ways to get down to the bay. You can go through Oia or around the back side, which is how we got down to the bay. This is the path that the vehicles take and is a bit longer - we did not know that until we were invested in that route. We went back up the other way, the way that the pedestrians go, which consists of some very steep steps. These steps are so steep that you can pay to have a donkey take you down and back up them if you want! We did not do that, but the walk back up the steps is rather strenuous especially after hiking and then indulging in a large meal. So, just be aware of that.


After those stairs, I really felt like I deserved some gelato.... as one does on vacation. We found Lolita's Gelato in the center of Oia. I am pretty confident when I tell you that this gelato is the best gelato in all of Santorini... especially the orange gelato. It literally changed my life.

We took the bus back from Oia to Imerovigli. This was the first time navigating the bus system in Santorini and it really is as easy as the research will tell you, but it is definitely very European. When I say that I mean, it can run late or leave early if it is full and you pay when you get on- so have some Euro cents ready! Once you figure those things out, using the Santorini bus is great and cheap! We used it a lot in both Santorini and Mykonos.


**This is not the orange flavor at Lolita's. I actually got pistachio and Spencer got the orange and of course, his was better.



Our evening was filled with some much-needed and deserved relaxation, watching the sunset on our balcony, reading our books, and enjoying each other's company. Because we had such a big lunch, we did not eat dinner until after sunset and decided to dabble in some Greek fast food.

It did NOT disappoint. In fact, I highly recommend it. If you need some late-night food in Imerovigli, Jimmy's Souvlaki is the way to go! We got some souvlaki (a pita filled with meat, tzatziki sauce, & french fries) and skewers and both were pretty delicious and cheap - which was great after Spencer's $100 lobster at lunch (haha!)


Day 6 - Santorini Beach Day

On the opposite side of the caldera, there are a few beaches in Santorini. We decided to hop on the bus from Imerovigli - Fira - Kamari Beach. This is a volcanic black sand and pebble beach!

I finished two books while in Greece!

In Kamari, there are lots of restaurants & shops leading up to and on the beach. One thing that is really nice about Greece is that you can sit and use a restaurant's beach chairs for free, as long as you buy food or drink from them! We just really wanted to sit & be lazy on the beach so that we could read our books so we practically grabbed chairs at the very first restaurant we saw on the beach... wasting no time!






Later that evening, we got back and were nice and fried from the beach day. We decided to stay in Imerovigli for dinner & ate at Mama Lena up the hill from our hotel. It was actually very tasty! It is somewhat 'off the beaten path' for Santorini because it does not have a caldera view. So if it would have been light out, we probably wouldn't have even considered it.


Day 7- One Final Full Day in Santorini

Our final full day in Santorini would be a day full of relaxation until the Caldera boat tour we had booked that evening prior to sunset. We spent the day on our patio after eating breakfast, which still at this point had not lost its' magic, and swimming in the hotel pool.


Caldera Boat Sunset Cruise

These tours are super common in Santorini and are seemingly the only way to get on the water on the caldera side. They are super fun and can be a big party if you're into that! The company that we booked through was Sunset Oia and they were great. They pick you up at your hotel and then take you to the port to get on the boat. That was really convenient for us because the port is at the bottom of the island on the opposite side of Oia and would be pretty challenging to get to without a rental car or taxi or shuttle from your hotel.


You get on board for the duration of your tour and they typically go to a few different spots around the caldera to swim, snorkel or check out volcanic springs. Then they stop near Ammoudi Bay to sit for the sunset, which is super beautiful from down in the water, looking up at Oia from down below. You also get a meal on board too!

Honestly, we partied pretty hard on the boat and we had a great time. I do remember the next morning being a little bit rough for me and having some serious vertigo that lasted a few days!


I would say the only regret/downfall that I can think of for Santorini is that I did not get gelato nearly as much as I would have liked to! There weren't any shops for it in Imerovigli that I could find. Sad.


Day 8-11: Mykonos


Our First Ferry Experience

On day 8 it was time for us to head to the next island, Mykonos. We decided to try out the ferry because it was shorter - only about 2 hours. Plus, neither of us had ever been on a large one like the ones in Greece so we wanted to have that experience.



I am really glad we did because the ferries are actually super nice, are just as comfortable (maybe even a bit more so) than riding in an airplane, and they're quick! I would say they are preferable to flying because the ferry and the seating is way more spacious than an airplane, you are able to walk around the whole entire time (even when it is leaving the port, in fact, they start pulling away as people are putting their luggage on board), and they do not take forever to board, to get going in the water, and to port. It's almost an eerily quick process actually! And surprisingly, I did not get seasick at all because the ferries are so large and they move so quickly through the water.


To book ferries tickets, I would definitely recommend using the site, Ferry Hopper. It shows you the ferries from different companies, which will allow you to see varying departure times, different ferry speeds (which will affect how long the ride is), and prices. We did the SeaJet ferry both times we used the ferries because they were the biggest and fastest ferry option.


Day 8 - Arriving & Adventuring in Mykonos

We arrived in Mykonos in the evening and our hotel in Mykonos set up a taxi to bring us from the port to the hotel. I highly recommend communicating with the hotel contacts everywhere you stay because they are usually super friendly & accommodating with these types of arrangements. I especially liked this because neither of us had phone plans while in Greece, so if we were not connected to the wifi we could not use our phones basically. Having the peace of mind that our transportation was already arranged for when we arrived places was always super nice - especially because I don't think you can just order up an Uber in Greece!


Once we got settled into our hotel, we immediately set off to explore Chora, the main town on Mykonos with the white maze-like buildings. Our hotel was within walking distance to the Old Port where the town is and because Mykonos is known for its' nightlife we knew it would be bustling.


We walked down there hoping not to get too lost. Luckily, if we set our GPS to a location while on wifi and then left the hotel, we could still navigate following the map on our phone. We used that a lot to get through the maze-like cobblestone streets!


Our first destination was the very famous restaurant, Kastro's. It's famous for this iconic photo. However, we were in between mealtimes and they were not currently serving for another few hours so we settled for the restaurant next door where we could sit out on the patio and eat hanging over the Aegean Sea with a view of the windmills of Little Venice.

Then, we went shopping and ventured over to the windmills where we sat and watched the sunset. This is a very popular sunset-watching spot in Mykonos.


I LOVED the little streets in Mykonos, just getting all lost in them and finding something new at every turn was so exciting. Also, Chora was proving to be much more poppin' and touristy than Imerovigli so there was no shortage of tourist shops and gelato stops for this girl! I think we got gelato every day that we were in Mykonos because there were just so many options to choose from!





Day 9 - Beach Day at Platys Gialos Beach

The thing to do in Mykonos is to hit the beach, especially if you want to party! Mykonos is known for its' super ritzy beach clubs where they party during the day and then into the night. We chose not to attend a beach club party because they are quite expensive and we thought it might be lame with just the two of us, but if you are going with a group of people I would definitely recommend it!


Instead, we opted for the lower-key beach spots with restaurants and beach chairs & umbrellas. There is no shortage of that in Mykonos as there are many many beaches on the island- so many that it is hard to choose after researching them all. They are all good for different things.


We selected Platys Gialos for our first beach day because it was good for couples & was budget friendly. Also, we could take the bus there from Chora. So, we walked from our hotel through Chora to find the Fabrika bus 'station'. These are not your typical stations, they are just spots where a bus of really large buses pull up and back up into about 20 times a day at an impressive speed, chartering tourists back and forth. It is a rather informal ordeal, but it's cheap and easy once you figure it out!


Once we got to the beach we found a restaurant where we could obtain two chairs, an umbrella, and later eat - gotta eat or drink there to get your free chair! We spent the day reading, drinking, and dipping into the super-cold Aegean Sea.

In case you're curious, we ate at Yialo Yialo restaurant where we shared some super-delicious clams!


Later that night, Spencer and I decided we were ready for a night out on the town (even though we just had one the night before)! We hit up the Skandinavian Bar in Chora, which is apparently super popular because it was packed and there was a long line to get into the club part upstairs.


Afterward, we found late-night food heaven at Pepper Souvlaki & More. They had skewers of cheese that were DELICIOUS!


Day 10 - Beach Day at Ornos Beach

The next day was basically an exact replica of the day before except we went to Ornos Beach and we had fancy dinner reservations!


We hit up Ornos, which was very similar to Platys Gialos and just as easy to get to by bus. If you were feeling super adventurous (which Spencer was not and I don't blame him... much), you could rent an ATV and take it to a more off-the-beaten-path beach or see the entire island, because we honestly did not see much of Mykonos. We did not do this because you're supposed to get a special license or piece of paperwork ahead of time (and we didn't) or you can somehow kind of sketchily work around it but if something bad were to happen, then you'd be SOL basically. After seeing how they drive in Europe and Greece, Spencer was NOT up for that risk.


The biggest highlight of the day was our fancy dinner reservations at a pasta restaurant called, Pasta Freska Barkia. It was good, but not life-changing unfortunately. We were ready for a break from all of the incredible seafood and Greek food that we had been eating though. And afterward, of course, we got gelato and watched the sunset over the port. This was our final night in Mykonos and we were saddened that our trip was reaching its' last leg as we headed back to Athens before we went home again.


Another place that you could go to watch the sunset is 180 Sunset Bar. It is located up above the town, so I'm sure it has a spectacular view of the sea and the sunset. We did not do this because it is very spendy and you have to make a reservation. Honestly, after learning about what things are hyped and probably overrated in Greece, we don't really feel like we missed out much. Really, nothing will EVER top a Santorini sunset anyways so it can't be that cool, right?



Day 11 - Back to Athens We Go

Another, slightly longer, ferry ride aboard SeaJet brought us back to Athens... back to the mainland for one final night in Greece. We even stayed back at the same hotel, Central Hotel.


Looking back now this wasn't super ideal because Central Hotel is in Plaka, in the center of the city... nowhere near the airport. In fact, it's like a 20-minute metro ride from Syntagma Square Station to the airport, BUT we did this because

A) we were coming from the port on the ferry, NOT the airport, and those are located in two different parts of the city so really it wouldn't have made a difference and

B) when I was researching, I was way too overwhelmed with all of the neighborhoods, the number of hotels, and figuring out public transportation to get from the port to the hotel and then from the hotel to the airport.


So, I stuck with what I knew and booked the same hotel, which would have us taking the same metro line back to the airport early the next morning. And THAT was ideal for me because, by that time, I had that metro line all figured out.

Also, another plus was that we could spend one last night in Athens with a beautiful view of the Acropolis, where our trip all started. I booked a reservation at the rooftop restaurant and we enjoyed one last sunset dinner with an unbeatable view. By the way, they have delicious lime margaritas!

It was at this point in the trip that I was definitely ready to be back home. I missed my dogs, my bed, and my routine a lot. Also, I was feeling refreshed and ready to tackle what lay ahead for us when we got back... moving!


Day 12: Athens to Chicago


We were up before the rest of Athens, heading to the metro station en route to the airport. Spencer was very shocked that not a single shop or business was open at 6 a.m. unlike in America... not even the Starbucks was open!


We had a long day ahead of us and unfortunately, we remembered that we had a long drive after that as well. What made matters worse was that our flight home did not go as smoothly as our flight to Greece. We boarded the plane, but did not take off for 3 hours... and of course, they did not let us get off the plane. This was very frustrating and put our travel day way behind schedule.


Luckily, we made it out in one piece. We made the drive from Chicago back home, picking up our precious baby doggy along the way, and we will try not to remember that as being the worst flight ever.


My Final Thoughts


Greece was incredible. It is one of the most stunning countries that I have visited, with some of the most breathtaking views I have seen so far in my lifetime. I would highly recommend everyone see it before they die, especially Santorini.


If you are in the market for a boujee but doable honeymoon, with Santorini you cannot go wrong! The trip was 100% worth every penny and then some! I have zero regrets about any of the spending or prices because it was such an unforgettable trip with my favorite person.


That being said, I would not necessarily recommend Santorini or Mykonos for an average European trip - in my opinion, it is not a destination that you want to try to do on a budget (unless you really have to). There are other places in Europe that you can go see for less money that is equally as incredible in their own ways - like Ireland or Italy or Spain! I would say that Greece is best done when you can splurge and be a bit more boujee. This will give you a more incredible experience.


I am so blessed that I had the opportunity to take my favorite person to Europe and that he trusted me to be his guide/trip planner. With him, I am so lucky that he puts his full trust in me to plan the most incredible trip that we can have without any complaints and hardly any reservations on his end. He was helpful when I asked him and to be, and hands-off & trusting at all other times. What a great travel buddy!


On this trip more so than others that I have planned, I was super nervous because I carried a lot of the mental load with the itinerary and planning of a really long trip, with understanding how European travel & money works, and just with the immense pressure I put on myself of wanting him to LOVE it. I did not want to mess up our honeymoon or have a single thing go wrong because if it did, it was all on me!


I personally think I NAILED THIS ONE, that or my husband's trip bar is super low (haha). He seemed to love it but honestly, we had an amazing trip filled with great hotel accommodations, lovely restaurants & food, lots of adventure, relaxation & history, and very few hiccups! I will chalk that up as a win.


"Checkin' it off the bucket list!"
