1. The Royal couple: Prince Charles and Princess Diana
Where did they go? They may not be ones to emulate when it comes to matrimonial harmony, but the one-time Prince and Princess of Wales certainly got their royal honeymoon right. Lent the Royal Yacht Britannia by Mummy, they set sail for Greece in the summer of 1981.
What should you do? The closest most of us will ever get to royal treatment in Greece is Aman’s only hotel on Hellenic soil, Amanzoe. Set high above the Mediterranean Sea and surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees, this arresting establishment has a distinctly palatial air, thanks to grand Grecian columns that line the entrance and the expansive beach club.
Designed by the renowned American architect Ed Tuttle, it mimics the wonders of the Acropolis (and why not, given that it’s just two hours’ drive away)—but with some useful 21st-century additions. Think an outdoor amphitheatre where you can order a martini to accompany the sunset, a stylish spa that offers treatments based on ancient Greek medicine, and an Olympic-size infinity pool overlooking the vineyards.
Boats are on offer to the gorgeous island of Spetses. But if you’re feeling a bit shy like the young Princess Di, there’s no need to leave your room. Each of the 38 pavilions has its own herb-filled garden, sunny terrace and private pool, as well as two vast marble bathrooms and what must be the most comfortable beds in Greece.
