A honeymoon should be a truly unforgettable holiday. For many couples, it’s the last trip they’ll enjoy before they have children – and so it only makes sense to pull out all of the stops now, and make the most of the time available for romance.
Touring in Europe for your Honeymoon
A tour of Europe’s most inspiring and romantic locations can tick all the boxes. Ideally, you’ll want to follow your personal preferences, and choose the ones that really appeal to you. Let’s take a look at five amazing places that you might include in your dream honeymoon itinerary.
Italy: Amalfi Coast
Italy is a country that’s packed with incredible sights to see. But where romance is concerned, it’s difficult to look further than the incredible Amalfi coast, with its pastel-coloured buildings, soaring cliffs, and sparkling views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Spain: Andalucía
The south coast of the Iberian peninsula offers a slightly different cultural experience from the rest of the country. There are more than eight hundred miles of coastline to navigate, incredible architecture in Sevilla, Malaga, Almeria and Granada, and plenty of flamenco to enjoy.
Croatia: Dalmatian Coast
The Dalmatian Coast has a great deal more to offer than the spotty breed of dog. Among the most compelling places to visit here is the walled city of Dubrovnik, which recently enjoyed a surge in tourist traffic thanks to its many appearances in Game of Thrones.
We should also consider the islands of Hvar, Vis, Korcula, and Bisevo, which offer copious sunshine and are favourites for Hollywood A-listers and tycoons. A cruise of the area makes for an unforgettable honeymoon.
Portugal: Algarve
The Algarve is home to an abundance of lush, golden beaches, as well as picturesque little villages nestled amidst a rocky, inspiring landscape. Many of the islands off the south coast are near-deserted, which makes this place great for taking it easy, and taking time for one another. It’s adjacent to Adalucia, too, which makes touring both fairly straightforward. You might even find a cruise ship that will cover both regions in a single unforgettable holiday.
Greece: Athens
We round our list off with what is arguably the most important city on the continent, in terms of history. Many of the more important ruins in Athens are still intact, which means that you can step in the footsteps of the men who laid down the foundations for civilisation elsewhere on the continent.
There’s more to Athens than its history, however. There are also modern adventures to be embarked upon. The Gazi district is perfect if you’re looking for bustling nightlife; Psirri is cosier and more laid-back, with a wealth of impressive street art.
