3-Week Honeymoon Itinerary: FR, SP, GR - Help Appreciated!

To me it seems like a lot of travel for a honeymoon. I'd stick with the deep dive into France and Spain and leave Greece for another time. Or just do Paris and Greece. And I'd work on accommodations pretty quickly as July and August are high season.

I've never been to Greece, but having just come back from Taormina in Sicily, my guess is that Greek islands are only a "cool honeymoon location" if you settle in a while. (I sure wish I had been able to do this in Taormina; I enjoyed my two night stay, but it would have been wonderful if I had had the time and money for a longer stay). So I agree with the above poster; either focus on Greece and skip Spain, or focus on France and Spain and skip Greece. If you are determined to see both Spain and Greece, then at least pick one Greek location for the whole stay; don't hop from Athens to Santorini to Crete to Athens. This was something else I learned on this Sicily trip; we were changing locations every 2-3 days, and it got old fast. On a honeymoon, I'd want to stay put for a while, particularly at the end (so you can rest from the earlier moving around).

And I also second the advice to get cracking, since it's high season.

The others are right. You are moving way too much in Greece. When I picture a Greek honeymoon it doesn't include moving so much. When you spend 2 nights in a location it only gives you one full day.

Even though you've been to Paris, I can't think of a more romantic city. I would give it at least another night. I would limit the destinations to Paris and Spain or Paris and Greece. Give yourselves time to relax and enjoy where you are. It's your honeymoon, not a race.

Congrats and have a great honeymoon. You will remember it for the rest of your life.

I realize everyone is different, but IMO, the best thing about exploring Europe is "immersing" in it. If you are just in a city or town for a day and snap pictures, you have a picture, but do you have the memories? When we go for 3 weeks we pick only two places... Paris is perfect - but at minimum you can spend a week there just in the city. There are many great day trips from Paris so you can easily spend two weeks. If you really want to see somewhere else, I'd say pick Paris and maybe one other place. If you are just living out of a suitcase for your honeymoon, I would ask myself if that is the memory I want. If you want to use it as a day-trip kind of 3 weeks, that's your choice for sure, but keep in mind, you might not remember much! haha. If you really want to see Spain, I personally would pick Valencia. Good luck - hopefully it won't be your last trip and plenty of time to return!

I agree with the earlier poster who suggested Paris because you've already committed to going there and then just hightail it to a Greek island and enjoy!!!! A day or two in Athens on the way back if you really want to see museums, but otherwise just go enjoy the beach!

I would also choose either Spain or Greece. Both have plenty of beaches and plenty more to see in two weeks.
