Crete is one of the world's most romantic honeymoon destinations — and for good reason. Crete is the largest Greek island and arguably the most complete destination in the Mediterranean — ancient Minoan civilization, the dramatic Samaria Gorge, some of Europe's finest beaches, and a cuisine that food writers make pilgrimages specifically to experience.
Crete is Greece's soul — ancient, wild, and fiercely proud of a culinary tradition that predates written history.
As a mid-range destination, Crete offers honeymooners exactly what the first trip of your marriage deserves: Minoan ruins, Samaria Gorge, Elafonisi beach, Cretan cuisine. The Wedding Unicorn plans every detail of your Crete honeymoon — from suite upgrades and private beach setups to surprise in-room amenities and exclusive sunset excursions that aren't available through standard booking.
We work with the finest resorts and boutique properties in Crete to secure the best honeymoon packages, negotiate complimentary upgrades, and arrange romantic touches that make your first week as a married couple genuinely unforgettable. Our planners have firsthand knowledge of the properties that actually deliver on their honeymoon promises.
