PLACES TO GO HONEYMOON IN SUMMER

In fact, summer is the best season for all European countries, but when it is a summer wedding, people want to touch the sea on their honeymoon. That's why we prefer Croatia and Italy, two countries that are very romantic with their beautiful sea and historical texture.

Amalfi Coast, Italy

Brief summary of this route:

Romantic atmosphere of Italy, Great seafood, Simple and elegant Italian luxury,

Colorful towns built on steep slopes facing the sea, streets closed to car traffic, turquoise bays. Fine wines, nice tables… Favorite summer place of Roman emperors, world artists and high society in the 1950s.

5-6 days will be enough for this route. Two days required for Ischia Island. The most popular stops are Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Pompeii, Ravello, Capri Island. The things we would say don't come back without doing it are sunset hike and boat rental at Sentiero degli Dei.

Split & Hvar Island + Dubrovnik, Croatia

The Adriatic sea is already a legendary place. Imagine a magnificent historical texture and Mediterranean climate that is absolutely no match for Italy. There are many chic places like Amalfi, usually sweet and friendly businesses, and you wouldn't have any trouble finding a nice honeymoon hotel.

Our suggestion is to visit Split, Hvar and Dubrovnik respectively. What we said do not return without doing; Touring the island in Hvar, renting an electric boat and visiting the islands and bays. Dubrovnik is the most beautiful medieval town we've ever seen. You can go to Hvar to stay overnight without visiting Split. Two days is enough for Hvar and one day for Dubrovnik. If you want to stay longer, you can add other places or extend their stay.

Montenegro

If you say both in Europe and without a visa, the options are getting quite narrow. In our opinion, one of the best alternatives among them is Montenegro. Fairy-tale medieval villages offer an attractive option with the beautiful bays of the Adriatic. Moreover, it only takes 1.5 hours to fly from Istanbul to the capital. The sea and historical texture of the country are similar to Croatia. People want to get good service, eat and drink in stylish places on their honeymoon. In our opinion, Montenegro is your best option in these matters.

Budva is a place preferred by the Russians who want to have a beach and sand holiday at low prices, because the sea is better than other places. In our opinion, the most enjoyable places to visit in the country are Kotor and Porto-Montenegro. The most logical thing is to take one of the three centers, rent a motorcycle and visit other daily places.

Kotor - It is another alternative with its exquisite landscape and historical texture. You can swim, but Budva's beaches are more beautiful. First, start planning your trip with Kotor Bay. Then you can explore the places to visit and accommodation in the center of Kotor.

Perast - Perast is after Kotor in our opinion. It should be your second stop in Montenegro that we say you should see.

Budva - Budva is preferred for its beautiful (but very crowded) beaches. Aesthetically, it is a little weak outside the old city.

Porto Montenegro - The marina and businesses in it make up the most luxurious places in the country. Not very ideal for swimming. The best places to eat and go out at night are here.

What we said do not return without doing:

Drive through Milocer Park to Sveti Stefan. Since the island is completely allocated to the hotels, you cannot go inside if you do not have a reservation in the restaurant. But even if you don't go inside, the road from Budva to Sveti Stefan is a very beautiful area, especially Milocer Park. Reserve your dinner for Porto-Montenegro, the most elegant place in the country. Also, make sure to take a full tour of Kotor Bay by motorcycle. Meanwhile, go to Perast, go to Perast Island. On the same day, have your dinner at Adriatica restaurant and return home by ferry right next to it. Finally, climb the walls of Kotor Old City to the top at sunset and enjoy a beautiful panoramic view.

Bali

Bali is our choice for those who want to go on a honeymoon in the summer and go to tropical places. Especially July and August are the peak season.

TROPIC HONEYMOON TIPS IN THE AUTUMN

Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

You must have noticed the incredible rise of the Yucatan Peninsula. Especially Tulum turquoise waters, Mayan ruins, beaches, islands, tacos, burritos are indispensable for Yucatan. The Yucatan Peninsula's most popular route includes the following: Kukulkan Pyramid, Cenote Ik Kil, Tulum, Chichén Itzá, Cozumel Island (for diving), Playa del Carmen, Valladolid Town (legendary beaches), Cenote Dos Ojos.

In Mexico, it both responds to that tropical sea air you are looking for, and because they have lived with tourism from America for years, their service understanding, facilities and operation are at a really settled level.

Jamaica

It may not be easy to think of, but Jamaica, an island country only 150 kilometers from Cuba, is a popular honeymoon route, especially for the American continent. The best times of this Caribbean island are in a very short period of time from November to mid-December. This is the time to find the best weather on the island, as well as the best hotel and airline options. It has super luxury hotels on its wonderful beaches full of coconut trees. You can find exotic flavors special to Caribbean Cuisine everywhere. Prices are appropriate throughout the year compared to other locations. January and March are the highest season here.

It is impossible for a honeymoon in Jamaica to not be crazy and full of adventure. After all, this is the country of Bob Marley and Reggae! Especially adventure seekers can experience tours in underground caves and diving in its magnificent reefs. In addition, the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park's UNESCO protected nature full of endemic species and the Blue Mountains, where the famous Jamaican coffee is grown, provide great experiences for climbing enthusiasts. Speaking English on the island is also an advantage.

WHERE TO GO FOR THE HONEYMOON IN WINTER?

Lapland, Finland

It is also a very nice idea to experience the winter season instead of running away from the winter. Watching the northern lights under blankets in the cold of Lapland, watching the falling snow from the warm jacuzzi, staying at the ice hotel are among the most romantic holidays in the world.

Going on a safari with reindeer and husky can also be seen as a very popular activity.

Swiss alps

We know, for some of us, honeymoon means sun-tanned hair, tanned skin, fine white sand beaches, but a snowy honeymoon in the buzzing hills of Switzerland can also be a romantic alternative.

Most hotels here offer their guests package programs, including ski programs. Chamonix, which is home to the world's most famous tracks, comes to mind as a good idea. You will find the mulled wine and fireplace atmosphere you are looking for and also benefit from the activities offered by Mont Blanc. Zermatt, a small ski town with its fairy-tale look, is also a great option. A room overlooking the iconic Matterhorn peak here can be a dreamy honeymoon option.

Ko Tao, Thailand

Thailand is a place where we would normally say "Go elsewhere for your honeymoon, you always go to Thailand" because it is a place that appeals to mass tourism. However, when it comes to the tropical holiday in winter, visa-free travel is again included in our list of alternatives with affordable prices. We recommend the east coast, which is somewhat calmer and romantic, as backpackers flock to the country's west coast.

Ko Tao is also the top diving destination in the country. It's also a tiny island. We suggest you visit Chiang Mai for 2-3 days and then go to Ko Tao for 3-4 days. Maybe you want to spend a day on the neighboring island of Koh Phangan.

South Africa

The biggest feature that makes this place stand out is the wildlife. South Africa is actually an option that you can take into consideration all year round. Because it is a place with different climate in every region. For this reason, it is a geography where you can find something for every taste. Cape Town does not bother you with its hot but dry weather between November and February and you love it. But if you say that I will do whale watching then you should definitely come in July and November.

Of course, a honeymoon you will spend here will be a little different from all other options. The adventure that started with sea, sand, sun, surf, whale watching in Cape Town will continue with savanna safari, wild nature watching, African cuisine and sleeping under the stars in the Madikwe Game Reserve, the fifth largest region of Africa. We are sure that the photos left from the whole honeymoon will be breathtaking.

Humpback whales are off the coast of South Africa between June and November each year. Especially Hermanus and False Bay are ideal places for observation. The best times of the sea season in Cape Town vary between January and April. If you are going to climb, you need to shift your holiday a little more to the end of April, early June. The best safari spot in South Africa is the Kruger National Park, a wildlife park that spans 300 kilometers. The best time is dry winter months, but in the humid season, you can observe newborn babies, the nature that comes to life after rain, and migrating birds.

Maldives

The Maldives, where you will see dreamy palm-filled islands, white beaches and every shade of blue, is undoubtedly the most popular honeymoon option all over the world. From December to April it is the Maldives' summer month, so it is also the month of the tourist influx. Since the period between these two months is the dry season of the island, it is the ideal time to go, but when the prices are at their peak.

There is probably no better place in the world to watch from the sky and under the water. The atolls formed by volcanic eruptions under the sea both offer great views and host the richest underwater life in the world. You have a good chance to see dolphins and sharks while swimming on the beach of your hotel without even diving. Luxury bungalows built on piers are also a very attractive option. The country consists of tiny islands, there is a hotel on each island, and there is no transportation between them unless you rent a private boat.

Philippines

I would say the Philippines is one of the ten most beautiful countries in the world, but it is difficult to find quality businesses in the country. For this reason, although there are dream places (such as El Nido) in the country, the Philippines may also be a good choice if you want to spend your honeymoon in dream resorts.

If you are going to the Philippines, make sure to spare three days to El Nido. If it is diving, diving, thousands of deserted islands descended from the sky and belong to you… The paradise on earth is El Nido.

If you want to visit the Philippines in the rest of your days, transportation is not very easy as the country consists of thousands of islands. Boracay is the country's most popular holiday destination, the most developed holiday destination. It has great advantages such as affordable prices and visa-free travel. Snorkeling with whale sharks in Oslob and seeing the endemic animal of Chocolate Hills and Tarsier in Bohol are options we want to see.

Hawaiian, America

Hawaiian is by far the most beautiful state in the United States, considering its geographical advantages. Oahu, where the state's capital Honolulu is located, and the Maui Islands with the world's oldest massive "shield-type" sleeping volcano Haleakala and rainforests, rainbow island Lauai are the most popular honeymoon destinations.

In particular, it offers experiences you won't find elsewhere, such as a helicopter rainbow ride and whale watching in the rain-filled Lauai. Winter is the whale watching month for Hawaii. During this period, humpback whales usually give birth to their offspring on Maui beaches.

TROPIC HONEYMOON TIPS IN SPRING

Bali, Indonesia

It is one of the most preferred places for honeymoon in the world. Let's talk about Bali's season first. As we said, Bali's high season is July and August. But these months, temperatures, humidity, crowds can be high. It is the most preferred periods in April, May, June and September. It rains from November to March and sometimes it doesn't taste much.

If this calendar fits your plans, we think Bali is a very special place because the island has everything. You can wander in the tropical forest one day, surf the next day, swim in the cozy sea one day, and go for a walk in the tea fields the next day. There are many different places to visit and activities on the island. Everyone is renting a motorcycle and visiting romantic places. This also provides enormous freedom. However, the prices are favorable. Finally, if you want to experience comfort and pleasure on your honeymoon, you can have the world's most beautiful massages at a very affordable price in Bali spas. Ubud and Nusa Dua are the places with the most beautiful honeymoon hotels.
