10 Best Honeymoon Destinations in Europe
Those who seek romance know Europe conjures up an unmistakable faraway allure. For that reason, Europe gratifies honeymooners as an ideal place to spend the first few days of marital bliss. Once you have taken into account the cost of getting to Europe, the fairytale places you can visit makes it well worth the trip.
Here is the list of 10 Best Honeymoon Destinations in Europe
1. Santorini, Greece
One of the first things to do in Santorini is to hit the colorful beaches and the black and red sands make for a memorable visit. Next up, indulge in the archaeological delights of the impressively preserved Ancient Akrotiri or climb the ancient stairs that lead to the historic city of Manolas in Thirassia. From there, catch a breathtaking view of the caldera, a brilliant turquoise pool of water that serves as nucleus for the varied isles of this archipelago. Some would say you only need a day to enjoy these islands' charms but to really drink in all Santorini has to offer, you'll need a few days to a week. Today, Santorini consists of two inhabited islands and several islets. Most visitors spend their time on Thira, the archipelago's largest island, which is home to Santorini's major towns, including Fira and Oia. Sleepy Thirassia makes for a relaxing day trip too.
2. Tuscany, Italy
Numerous films have been made about this gorgeous area in northwest Italy which evokes the idea that Tuscany is indeed a place of romance, chianti, olives, aromatic cooking and, of course sunshine. Today, many travelers visit this region to celebrate their nuptials, whether it's for their honeymoon or their 50th anniversary. The combination of castles-turned-wineries, elegant cypress trees, cascading hills and leafy vineyards is simply heavenly. Time seems to slow in this effortlessly idyllic place. And what better way to unwind than by savoring a glass of vino under the Tuscan sun. A bus tour is both a fun and safe way to see Tuscany while tasting the regional vintages and like the wines it produces, should be savored so try to give yourself at least a week in this glorious region.
