Italy Surpasses Hawaii as the Top Honeymoon Destination
Summary
This year, Italy has overtaken Hawaii as the most popular honeymoon destination. Discover what makes Italy so appealing to newlyweds.---
For years, Hawaii has been the quintessential honeymoon paradise, reigning supreme for nearly a decade. However, this year, Italy has claimed the title of the most favored honeymoon spot. According to the 11th annual Modern Bride survey conducted in 2007, Italy has risen from third place to first, surpassing Hawaii, with Tahiti, Costa Rica, Mexico, and France following. This survey, involving 6,000 luxury travel agents, showcases the top 50 honeymoon destinations, but doesn’t delve into the reasons behind Italy’s newfound popularity.
Why Italy?
Hawaii’s dip in popularity can be seen in the figures: the number of honeymooners visiting the island dropped by 1.2% from the previous year. While Hawaii offers stunning landscapes and a plethora of romantic activities, Italy’s unique charm is winning hearts.
Venice: The Romantic City
Venice captivates with its enchanting canals and waterway mazes. A gondola ride through this city, free from cars and bustling traffic, sets a romantic tone for any trip. Instead of roads, Venice offers serene scenery, palaces, museums, and art collections. Its open-air food markets provide a culinary adventure, complemented by authentic Northern Italian cuisine at local restaurants.
A must-experience event in Venice is the Carnival. Originating from the Latin phrase "farewell meat," Carnival is akin to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Historically, it marked the last feasting before Lent began. Today, the festival is more refined, but the excitement remains high, with attendees donning masks for festive anonymity.
The Allure of Capri
Capri is another Italian gem, long admired by filmmakers, emperors, and honeymooners alike. The island captivates visitors with its intoxicating aromas?"from ripe lemons to the rich scents of basil, marjoram, oregano, parsley, and thyme wafting through the air.
A highlight of Capri is the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra). This natural wonder is renowned for its mesmerizing display of blue hues created when sunlight filters through an underwater opening, transforming the entire cave into a haven of sparkling azure.
European Cruises: Explore More for Less
Whether you choose Italy or another destination for your honeymoon, a European cruise offers the chance to explore multiple romantic locales at an affordable price. Research thoroughly to find the perfect setting for you and your partner.
Italy's blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, alongside its distinctive, romantic experiences, has propelled it to the forefront of honeymoon destinations. Whether it's the magic of Venice or the allure of Capri, Italy promises an unforgettable start to married life.
