After a long-awaited wedding day preceded by months and maybe even years of planning, a honeymoon is the ideal reward all newlywed couples excitedly anticipate. For honeymooners who seek a fantasy-like world of castles, fortresses and endless water views, the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia serves as an optimal spot for a post-nuptial celebration.
Known as the ¨Pearl of the Adriatic,¨ the city of Dubrovnik is located in southern Croatia along the coast of the Adriatic Sea. The Old City is completely walled, just as it was in the 13th century, and has since earned UNESCO World Heritage status. Romantic evenings can be spent meandering the cobblestone streets and marveling in the sky-kissing churches, royal palaces and captivating fountains. Rest your feet at one of the sidewalk cafes for a glass of Croatian wine and a succulent seafood dish. Or, opt for a cliff-side cocktail experience at Buza II, a bar that overlooks the sea.
During the daytime, charter a private speedboat to the secluded island of Kolocep for some alone time, or sign up for a boat tour of the Elaphiti Islands including the blue caves of Kolocep and Kalamota. After a brisk hike through the forests of Lopud, relax on the beaches and enjoy an afternoon cocktail.
The rich history and fairy-tale feel of Dubrovnik contribute to its idyllic reputation as a romantic destination.
