mean breaking the bank. Olympic Holidays recommends Constantinos the Great, a beachside five-star near Protaras boasting good facilities and idyllic views, with prices from £866 per person for a week’s half-board, including flights, in May 2019.
◗ BEST FOR SECLUSION: PAROS Clients wanting to get away from it all? Look to one of the lesser- known Greek isles. Pint-sized Paros (an hour from Mykonos) makes an excellent base, with Byzantine remnants, traditional villages and head-turning landscapes luring those who want culture without the crowds.

honeymooners looking for a peaceful escape head to Lilly Residence, an adult-only retreat nestled on a hill above a sandy beach, home to several suites with private Jacuzzis and plunge pools. Mykonos is an hour’s hop away, and the secluded island of
Anti-Paros can easily be reached by boat too. Book it: A week in a Junior Suite Jacuzzi Sea View starts at £915 per person, including flights, transfers and a champagne breakfast.

◗ BEST FOR ADVENTURE: THE ALPS Honeymoons don’t have to mean sun, sea and sand. For adventurous couples who want something a little different,
look to the Alps. Inghams recommends Chamonix for couple-friendly activities that range from paragliding over the mountains to hiking across glaciers, and it’s not all about the extreme stuff – tag on the operator’s Overnight Glacier Experience and clients will be whisked up to the remote Refuge du Montenvers, a mountaineering lodge built in 1880 at more than 6,560ft. Here, they’ll watch the sun set
over the Mer de Glace glacier, enjoy a romantic three-course meal and stargazing beneath the inky sky, then venture to the ice caves the following day. Book it: A week’s half-board at the four-star Hotel Heliopic in
Anassa
