The best meal of Jen and Eli’s Greek honeymoon also happened to be Eli’s birthday celebration. Jen says, “His birthday fell during our trip on September 22, so I took him out to dinner in Santorini at a restaurant overlooking the caldera, called Selene. This was hands-down our most romantic meal; all of the tables are outside and lit with candles.” Eli looks serious about that menu above.

Being a true food lover, Jen recounts the meal in detail, “We shared a seafood baklava appetizer (calamari, scallops, and fish layered between sheets of phyllo) and then I had fresh sea bass in a fava bean crepe and Eli had rabbit served on cheesy polenta with mushrooms, red peppers, and carrots. Not traditionally Greek, but a refined and creative take on Greek flavors.”

“Our server was Nick, and he had a great sense of humor and provided excellent service. Eli’s birthday dessert came out with a sparkler in it and Nick even gave us complimentary glasses of the Greek dessert wine vinsanto. The fact that we were on our honeymoon and it was also Eli’s birthday AND we were sitting at dinner on a cliff in Santorini was incredibly romantic.”

Selene also offers a full day cooking class, a very cool option for foodie honeymooners.
