Searching for the perfect honeymoon


Picking a honeymoon destination is one of the hardest decisions I have had to make. 
(Yes I live a lovely, fluffy, care free life!)


As we had a destination wedding in January, we decided it would be nice to come home and have a honeymoon to look forward to later in the year. I also knew I would need to occupy my once filled wedding brain with something post nuptials.

But it is oh so difficult to pick a destination.
I already have my own personal top three honeymoon location:
-Cuba
But the issue is, we have already been to these locations.

Before the wedding, we had thought that Vietnam would be an ideal location. Asia intrigues us both and this beautiful country would allow us adventure, relaxation and culture.
But now that the grand event is over (and all the money is spent!) the gloss is wearing off it. Flights are expensive, we only have two weeks to play with and we have a conflict with the ‘best time of year’ to visit.

So now my mind has been refocused back to Europe and the Middle East. There are some fab beaches and resorts scattered about this continent and obviously there is culture and history galore to explore, but which one do I pick for a honeymoon?
Ideally we would like to do some sightseeing, partake in a fun activity and spend a few days relaxing.

Crete, Sicily, Croatia, Malta, Greek islands, Jordan and Tunisia are all on my radar.

Do any of you have any tips, advice or indeed destinations you would think suitable?

  1. For Europe or the Middle East how about a cruise? Royal Caribbean is the way to go for old world style luxury cruising. You get to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short space of time and the different port every day thing is pretty hard to beat : )

    1. Good idea Jane! I do love a bit of luxury and we could see a few places too. *Off to trawl the internet for cruises!*
