My boss went to Mykonos last year. He wished that he had gone there before he was married. Looking at his photos I can see why.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Greece, and we visited a couple of the islands. Our favorite was Corfu. We made arrangements with a travel office in Athens to lease a bungalow on the beach of Corfu with a small jeep-like vehicle included. We drove that little jitney all over the island and had a great time. We never were bothered by anyone and there were no crowds at any village or on the beaches. The game plan was to sort out our trip _after_ we got to Greece. My new bride was very nervous about arriving in Athens with a booking for only two days in a low-priced hotel and no other plans, but we managed just fine. Of course, that was twenty years ago, so things may have changed drastically in the current world situation.

I went to Crete a few years ago. Great place as long as you avoid my fellow countrymen (hordes of obnoxious Brits) in the resort towns. Rent a car and travel all over - the central plateau is stunning; the food and drink are good; the beaches are great - some topless, some nude - the archaeology is fascinating.
