Amalfi Coast
Italy · Europe
Fifty kilometres of vertical coastline with villages stacked into cliffs like pastel Lego, the Tyrrhenian Sea glittering below, and the smell of lemons and jasmine everywhere. Genuinely, absurdly beautiful.
Santorini
Greece · Europe
The most photographed honeymoon destination in Europe. Whitewashed villages clinging to 300-metre volcanic cliffs, caldera sunsets that are a communal event, and cave suites with private plunge pools overlooking the Aegean.

Our Pick: b
For most honeymooners, the Amalfi Coast is the better choice — more variety in towns, food, and activities, and rewards couples who want to explore. Santorini wins on visual drama and slow-paced intimacy.
