FILLING YOUR ITINERARY You’ve selected your accommodation, but what to do while you’re there? Italy is bursting with rich culture, busy towns and quiet countryside, so the world is your oyster! But do you want to avoid people for the whole honeymoon? Or maybe have a mix of quiet days and packed-out ones. If you want a quiet trip then we’d recommend going in the spring or the autumn, it’s ideal for weather and has the least crowds. If you aren’t worried about lots of people and want to feel the extent of the Italian heat, then July and August are the months for you! VISIT WINERIES IN TUSCANY Assign half a day to take a tour of the famed Chianti wine region complete with visits to wineries, where you’ll taste a range of wines and dine on olives, cheese, cured meats and bruschetta – divine! EXPLORE THE VATICAN IN ROME The Vatican City is iconic for a reason and should definitely be on your to-do list for Italy. Tours take around three-hours and will change your perspective on architecture and art. The Pope also addresses the crowds every Wednesday and Sunday morning in St Peter’s Square, so make sure you’re there for this memorable moment! TAKE A COOKING CLASS IN SICILY Cooking courses, by standard, are very romantic things to do with your partner and, when combined with the natural pull of Italy, you are on to a winner. You’ll learn how to prepare a traditional four-course meal, to then sit down and enjoy it with wine, coffee and limoncello! Classes are typically in a small-group format, so you won’t be overwhelmed with other honeymooners. AND SO MUCH MORE! You’ll never run out of gorgeous corners to explore when visiting Italy, it’s one of Europe’s most beautiful countries for a reason. If the above hasn’t interested you, then why not check out tours of Mount Etna, the site of a volcano with fertile soil, making some of the best vineyards in Italy. Or what about a day trip to Verona to see Juliet’s balcony from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Or for our fitness fanatics out there, why not head to the Amalfi Coast for the Path of Gods hike. If you feel the sea calling to you, book on to a pirate ship boat tour with lunch and music. There are countless things to do when visiting these lush lands, all you need to do now is book your plane tickets. HONEYMOONS 87
