Because that was the one that I happened to use. That's all. Anyway, I am not here to promote. Maybe I have just become a fanboy, just like I am with Apple products. 
As for strikes, you are right, I have heard a lot of things about it. Heimdal and Clausar are you Greeks?

Hi Everyone,
Thanks a lot for the answers. Apologies for not replying before.
As it turns out, I might take the evening flight from India on the 1st. So, would probably reach Athens on the 2nd morning.
But, keeping in Mind, 3 nights each in Santorini and Mykonos, I might travel on the 5th.
Does the Easter holidays mean, the prices of Hotels and travelling would shoot up ?
Anyways, could you please message me the links of ferries so that I could check out the timings and start booking them.
You guys have been so much helpful to me.Thanks once again.

According to their website Thea doesn't open until May 20th: http://www.mykonosthea.com/rates.htm
Frankly, at the beginning of May all beaches will have a private feel, because there won't be many other sunbathers. Mykonos Grand, at Agios Ioannis, has a private area on the beach, and it's near Mykonos Town: http://www.mykonosgrand.gr

Frankly my best wishes for your new life.Santorini is the best choise for honeymoon .Greece have 3000 islands to visit .If you like are in honeymoon in santorini you can have the best events for this reason .Last years Santorini host 1000s for the same reason. The second island is good choise myconos , paros, milos,but if you ask me Rodos is THE Island for you.But is very difficult to go from one island to other directly ,you have to come back in Athens .

There are not more than 10 hotels in Greece with a private beach, since all Greek beaches according to Greek constitution are public....
I was last year during May on Mykonos, stayed at Mykonos Grand, which is very nice hotel, a great advice from Heimdall.
At the beginning of May even the usually very busy beach of Platys Gialos will be empty

Hi all,
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Heimdall, had shortlisted Mykonos Grand, superb hotel it is. but unfortunately, it is a little above my budget. Was more interested in hotels at around 170-200 euros.

The main reason I suggested Mykonos Grand is that I kew it had a private area on Agios Ioannis Beach. I still think Agios Ioannis would be a good place to stay, because the beach isn't crowded (especially early May) and has great sunset views. Maybe clausar can suggest another hotel within your price range.

Please check Saint John, an exhellent hotel on Agios Ioannis Beach, that Heimdall recommended, which will feel very very private
A second option would be Mykonos Blue on Psarou Beach.
Both within your budget and both excellent hotels.

Heimdall i checked random days 6-10/5 and i didn't see the garden view room.... after seeing your post, i tried different days, and suddenly the garden view room showed up
I think as a good will gesture for Honeymooners they would upgrade them to a Sea View room free of charge, given the fact that the hotel will be most likely empty

Hey Clausar/Heimdall,,
Firstly A very happy Holi to you. Its the Indian festival of colours.
Well, we were interested in Saint John also, and now eventually we have zeroed in on Petasos Beech.
Hotel Belveder in Santorini.
Though we havnt done the bookings as yet, I think, I would do it by tomorrow. Ofcourse, I would be checking this forum again before I go ahead with the booking.
