Top 50 honeymoon destinations

Wondering where to spend the holiday of a lifetime? Be inspired by the top 50 places around the world.

Greece

Another destination that's relatively close to home, Greece gives you the opportunity to enjoy plenty of culture in the sunshine. City lovers should head to Athens, which has been thoroughly overhauled after the 2004 Olympics. Stay in one of the new boutique hotels and marvel at the Acropolis before heading off to the islands. The Greek islands vary hugely, from romantic Santorini with its white cliff-top homes, to Crete with its orange groves and valleys covered in olive trees. Be sure to make the most of your visit by sampling the Greek cuisine.

Hawaii

Hawaiiis a great combination of tropical, sun-drenched beaches, surfing, and stunning scenery, all with a convenient American undertone. This group of islands, off the West Coast of the USA, were created by millions of years of volcanic activity in the Pacific Ocean.

Each island has a different charm and character. The main island of Hawaii is the largest and gives you the opportunity to see current volcanic eruptions. It's also a must for those wanting to pay a visit to Waikiki beach and enjoy a beginner's class in surfing. Lanai is an oasis dedicated to rest and relaxation while Oahu is more of a bustling, lively island. Kauai has some stunning scenery including picturesque waterfalls and dramatic mountains.

Ireland

As well as being enormously easy to get to, the Emerald Isle has to be one of the most romantic honeymoon destinations. Think castles, dramatic coastlines, misty moors, peace and quiet... and Guinness, of course. Make the most of Ireland by mixing a little of the city and the countryside. Tuck in at a historic castle or cosy country house hotel before spending a few nights enjoying Dublin’s has culture, Georgian mansions and lively nightlife.

Italy

When you're thinking of romantic destinations, Italy has got to be up there at the top. Rome, Florence and Venice are three of the most romantic cities in the world -- whether you choose to make a wish at the Trevi Fountain, cuddle in a gondola or wander around the picturesque streets of Florence with its magnificent Uffizi Galley. Away from the cities, Tuscany offers rolling green hills and medieval towns, the Amalfi Coast has glamorous resorts, and the lakes and mountains offer secluded villages and stunning scenery. And the cuisine is heavenly.

Jamaica

Jamaicais the third largest island in the Caribbean and famous for its laid-back pace of life, as well as its powder-soft beaches, lush green mountains, shimmering waterfalls and potent rum. If you're looking to relax, stretch out on the seven mile beach at Negril, and enjoy the market at Ocho Rios. For more active adventures, take an exhilarating raft trip down the Rio Grande, climb Dunns River Falls, enjoy the various watersports and head for the nightspots of Montego Bay. Food lovers will appreciate mouth-watering jerk chicken -- remember to bring a few bottles of jerk sauce home so you can relive the moment when you get back.
