Whimsical Crete
One of the Mediterranean’s most treasured gems, Greece’s biggest island – Crete – is a memorable destination for honeymooners who love the irresistible mix of sea, sun and fun. With fantastic beaches, the traditional white & blue mix that pops on anything from houses to tablecloths, breathtaking sunsets and genuinely friendly people, Crete is truly idyllic. The island also boasts high mountains, historical attractions and sweet little towns where you can stroll hand in hand. Aww, charming!

Dreamy Venice
Visiting this surprising Italian city will feel like unwrapping a gift for your senses. The first thing you want to do is cuddle up to your loved one and enjoy a canal tour in a gondola while a gondoliere is singing an old Italian song. Feeding pigeons in Piazza San Marco should be another typically Venetian thing on your to-do list, together with getting lost in the charming, labyrinthine streets of the city. Pure bliss for a couple in love.

Romantic Paris
Oh la la! The French capital is the epitome of love and romanticism with its über-famous landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, the river Seine and its bateaux mouches (the well-known Parisian boats) and its delicious chocolate croissants served in chic cafés. Paris is undeniably one of the greatest destinations for honeymooners who love museums (some of the best art works in the world are there for you), parks and shopping. Since this was also my honeymoon destination, I can tell you one thing: you won’t regret this choice!

Mysterious Cappadocia
Indulging in the unique beauty and fascination of Cappadocia, a historical region in Central Anatolia, in Turkey, will be utterly romantic. Famous for its one-of-a-kind moon-like landscape, cave churches and underground cities, this place is so quiet and unique that feels almost surreal. Enjoy a hot-air balloon ride (they are so famous here they even have a festival!) and admire the lunar landscape around you. You can’t compare this to anything else you’ve seen before!

Sunny Malta
With over 300 sunny days a year, luxurious resorts and crystal waters, Malta is a romantic escape like no other. Located right in the center of the Mediterranean, between Sicily and North Africa, one of Europe’s tiniest islands awaits for couples like you with its jaw-dropping views, so get your camera ready! Enjoy day cruises, diving in clear waters, discovering amazing baroque art monuments or dancing the night away in one of Malta’s cool clubs. You will want to return very soon!

Amazing Tuscany
If you enjoy sipping great wine, tasting delicious food (who doesn’t?) and admiring unparalleled landscapes, Tuscany – another fabulous Italian destination– is your perfect choice. Rent a car with your better half and drive around hilltop villages dotted with cypress trees and renaissance art cities. You will soak in romanticism from head to toe, savoring the enchanted atmosphere this corner of the world has to offer.
The sweet memories you create on your honeymoon will last for a lifetime. Have you decided on the perfect location yet, lovelies?
