Part One – Santorini Greece

Real Honeymoon | October 24, 2011

I am so excited about featuring Aaron & Lindsey’s honeymoon! You can see pictures from their beautiful wedding on  JL Design’s Blog and on 100 Layer Cake. The adorable couple started their honeymoon in Santorini Greece, and then they headed off to Italy where they stayed in Sorrento and Rome.  They had an amazing honeymoon and came back with beautiful pictures! Be sure to check back later this week to see the rest of their honeymoon in Italy!

Where did you go?  Santorini, Greece, Sorrento & Rome, Italy (w/ day trips to Capri, Positano, and Pompeii)

Where did you stay in Greece? The Arressana in Santorini was in the capital of Fira and conveniently located close to the coast, restaurants, shops, and the bus station. (Which we used every day!)

How did you decide to honeymoon in Greece & Italy? We had never been to either country and wanted the perfect mix of relaxing (Santorini) and an adventurous vacation (Italy)

What did you like about Santorini? Santorini was an absolutely gorgeous island with breathtaking views, sunsets, and delicious local foods.  The Aegean Sea was wonderful and we enjoyed swimming every day in its beautiful, blue, clear water. 

Did you receive any special honeymoon amenities or upgrades? We had champagne and snacks awaiting us at each of the 3 hotels as well as a very nice ‘congratulations’ welcome from the staff.

If you could have changed one thing about your trip, what would it be?  It really was perfect…first class flights would’ve been nice though.

If you had to pick just one, what would be your favorite honeymoon memory?  It’s not fair to pick just one, but swimming in the Aegean Sea at Amoudi Beach in Santorini was something we will never forget.

Looking back, is there anything you would tell other couples planning their honeymoon?  Pack light (which we did), don’t over plan (save time to relax), and listen to Katie!

What 3 words would you use to describe your honeymoon?  Dream Come True!

So cute, right?!! Thank you again Aaron & Lindsey for sharing your honeymoon with us! Check back later this week for the second part of their honeymoon! Interested in going to Greece or Italy for your honeymoon? Contact us!
