Love Shacks In Greece For The Perfect Romantic Getaway

Teal Mediterranean waters. Santorini sunsets. Olive tree groves. Greece was made for lovers. If you’re ready for a dreamy escape, here are the best love shacks in Greece – they’re all bookable on Culture Trip.

Greece is already a prime honeymoon spot, but also far more than a fly-and-flop destination. You can unfurl on the beaches of Kos, but a romantic Greek holiday might also include exploring hiking trails, quaint villages and ancient ruins. There’s an equally varied amount of romantic places to stay too, including ecohomes on glamping sites, secluded island hotels and even a 19th-century windmill. Find your perfect spot below.

1. NISI Campsite, Fthiotida

Camping, Eco-Lodge, Glamping

Set on the shores of the Malian Gulf in central Greece, NISI Campsite has a wide range of intimate lodgings. With bell tents, domes, ecohomes, tiny houses and bungalows, it may be best to spend a week here sampling them all. Our pick is the elevated tree house for two – swing the doors open in the morning for spectacular vistas of the azure sea from the comfort of your plush bed and spend your days lounging on your hammock. Bliss.

2. Sails on Kos Ecolux Tented Village, Kos

Villa, Eco-Lodge, Luxury

Nothing says romance more than glamping – especially when it’s set just a short stroll from one of the prettiest beaches in Kos. Sails on Kos has four different types of tent – villas, safari, glamping and bell. Opt for the glamping tent for a plush bed and sofa and romantic Adirondack chairs out front. When you’re not swimming at nearby Marmari Beach, there’s an on-site pool, an outdoor theatre, a bar, restaurant and a yoga platform.

4. Athina Luxury Suites, Santorini

Suite Hotel, Apartment

A luxurious hotel room with large bed and private balcony.

With unparalleled pink sunsets, there’s a reason Santorini is a lover’s oasis. Get a romantic view from the comfort of a private hot tub at Athina Luxury Suites. The retreat sits on the edge of Caldera in Fira, overlooking pretty Oia; opt for the honeymoon suite if you can, which has the aforementioned hot tub and a private balcony. Made-to-order breakfasts are included with the rooms too.

5. Verina Astra, Sifnos

Boutique Hotel, Villa

A modern hotel room in chic neutral tines with a private sea-view terrace.

If you want a peaceful, secluded hotel on an island, then Verina Astra on Sifnos is an excellent choice – enjoy romantic views over the Aegean from your Cycladic retreat on a hill. The suites, decorated in a minimalist style, offer cosiness, comfort and casual luxury. So whether you spend your stay exploring the treasures of Sifnos, relaxing on the beach or dozing in your terrace lounge chair, you will leave Verina Astra relaxed, refreshed and more connected.

6. Vasilikia Mountain Farm & Retreat, Pavliani

Farm, Hotel

A wood-built guest cabin with in-room bathtub.

Vasilikia Mountain Farm and Retreat is an estate near Pavliani village, close to the entrance of Oiti National Park. While the property has several accommodation options, the Airstream Land Yacht comes highly recommended. The metallic caravan features a small lounge area and kitchenette, a queen-sized bed, a bathroom with a shower, and an outdoor patio. While you cannot travel in it, you will still get a feel for nomadic-style living.

7. Eumelia Organic Agrotourism Farm & Guesthouse, Peloponnese

Boutique Hotel, Villa, Farm

A chic, modern guest suite with plastered walls and a fireplace with separate bedroom and lounge area.

For lovebirds into all things organic and sustainable, Eumelia is a paradise on earth.

The property, which includes a set of ecofriendly cottages, focuses on sustainable living practices and activities, including fruit picking, yoga classes and cultural visits. The cottages all have a bedroom, a living room with a fireplace, a dining area, a kitchen, a veranda and a garden.

8. Casa Cook Rhodes, Rhodes

Hotel

Looking for a romantic escape where you can spoil yourself with room service and a swimming pool? Book Casa Cook Rhodes. With a blend of casual luxury and a bohemian vibe, this Instagrammable boutique hotel has beautiful rooms and suites characterised by minimalist décor and natural tones. Enjoy meals and drinks at the Kitchen Club, which features a bar, restaurant and pool area. And while you could spend the entire day relaxing in your hammock or by the pool, Casa Cook Rhodes is also the perfect base from which to explore the island.

9. The Windmill, Kimolos

Villa

Two hammock-style sun loungers on a sun-baked terrace in front of a white washed Greek building.

For a laid-back romantic vacation with your loved one, let yourself be seduced by the Cycladic charm of Kimolos and stay in a 19th-century windmill. Converted into a quaint boutique hotel with five bedrooms, The Windmill has spectacular views and a relaxed character. The rooms are not particularly big, but they have that cosy feeling. The hotel comes with a small café-bar plus a series of terraces where you can have your breakfast or simply relax.

10. Coco-Mat Eco Residences, Serifos

Boutique Hotel, Eco Hotel, Eco-Lodge

A hotel room with large bed decorated exclusively in tones of white.
