Explore Mykonos' Private Beaches
Rent an ATV, or 2 like we did, and explore the island in search of a private beach. We found multiple secluded beaches with the most breathtaking crystal clear blue water.

Discover the Ancient Ruins of Athens
What's more romantic than exploring ancient ruins and finding yourselves in history? Imagine yourself as a couple thousands of years ago walking through the Acropolis can be quite a mood setter. Or maybe we are just nerds? Not sure.
Embrace True Greek Culture
Nea Makri is a wonderful example of true local culture and is about an hour outside of Athens. Small town Greece is just like small town Italy- an absolute dream. It is quaint, hospitable, simple, down to earth, and filled with delicious food and wonderful people.
Nea Makri is a fine representation of small-town Greece and is a spot you should definitely make a point to visit. Not to mention, it is very near the Port of Rafina, which is a great spot to catch a ferry to the islands.
