- If there's a time to $4 on an expensive hotel, your honeymoon is likely an ideal occasion for it.
- Here, author Jamie Friedlander details why she and her husband $4 $4,000 in total on a honeymoon trip that included a stay at Pezoules of Oia, a pricey hotel in Santorini, Greece.
- Pezoules is a small, family-owned hotel: It only has seven units.
Last year, my husband and I got married. We've been together for nine years, and have spent much of that time traveling - to Hawaii, Aruba, Spain, and Costa Rica, among other places. We're $4 when we travel, always trying to find affordable places and typically booking with points.
We wanted our honeymoon to be both adventurous and relaxing, which is why we settled on Greece. After booking modest hotels in Athens and Mykonos, we knew we wanted to splurge on something a bit more high-end in Santorini.
A friend of a friend who had visited Santorini told me about a place called Pezoules of Oia>$4, in which there are seven rooms built into a cave on the side of the mountain.
There was just one catch. The hotel was $433.15 per night, which meant it would cost us over $1,700 to spend four nights there. In total, we $4 around $4,000 for the eight-day trip.
We'd decided to $4 for Pezoules in the year leading up to our honeymoon, and it was totally worth the cost in the end. Here's why.
