Begin your honeymoon in style by heading straight to the Amalfi Coast, a breathtaking 50-kilometer coastline made up of pastel-colored buildings that plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Spend the day strolling along the winding streets of Positano, taking in the views from Ravello or soaking up some sun on the beach in Amalfi.
After breakfast, head to Sorrento. Wander down to the bustling harbor to take a boat out to Capri or hop on a Vespa to explore the beautifully-situated hill towns of the Sorrentine Peninsula. Enjoy the sunset at Piazza Tasso or explore the olive groves and lemon trees that scatter the countryside.
Your next destination is the Eternal City, Rome. Spend your first day soaking up the atmosphere at the Colosseum, the Piazza del Popolo, and the Pantheon. On day two, explore the Vatican City and the beautiful St. Peter's Basilica. On your third day, take a cooking class and learn to make your own homemade pasta before celebrating your last night with dinner at a romantic rooftop restaurant.
Fly to Sardinia, known for its dreamy beaches and clear blue water. Spend your days lounging on the beach and island hopping to La Maddalena or Asinara. At night, explore the glamorous nightlife in Porto Cervo or find a intimate seafood restaurant for a romantic dinner.
Take a boat to the stunning Island of Capri, home to the Blue Grotto and the charming Piazzetta. Spend your days exploring the nature reserve or simply relaxing by the coastal cliffs with drink in hand. Take in the sunset from the lemon-scented terrace at Villa San Michele or from one of the island's many high-end restaurants.
End your honeymoon in style in Cinque Terre, a picturesque set of five seaside towns that cling to the coastline. Hike between the towns along the stunning coastline trail or take a boat between the harbors. Book a secluded room in the hillside town of Monterosso or head to Riomaggiore for an intimate dinner by the sea.
