Honeymoon ideas

[Chris71]

Hi,

The future Mrs Chris71 and I are on the lookout for honeymoon ideas. I got a lot of stick for being too open ended when I asked on here before, but hopefully I can narrow it down a bit more now:

• Somewhere picturesque and relatively secluded
• Less than four hours' flying time from London
• Leaning towards a small boutique hotel - something with a bit of character rather than a generic chain
• Decent food (either eat in or plenty of restaurants within a short walk)
• Could be a seaside/lakeside location or countryside, but not a city
• Not too fussed about nightlife
• Not too hot - max low 30s in September
• Must be reasonably affordable by honeymoon standards - say a total budget (including food and any extras) of £900 pp for a week

Italy was suggested, so I thought maybe Tuscany, but several people have said the money won't go very far there? Dunno if the Balkans are worth considering? South of France?

I really liked Croatia.

I stayed on the Islands (Brac island) in a villa in a secluded bay near Milna, but for hotels Bol (Brac), Hvar (Hvar Island) or even the mainland, Split or Dubrovnic would be nice, quiet and rather picturesque.


PH Response on - Don't marry her!!! go to Amsterdam with the lads.....

Any more for any more?

Im currently looking at Morocco. Possibly a mix between Marrakech and Casablanca.
Our other option is to get a cottage in the highlands for a week. You can get some surprisingly well equiped, 5 star accommodation up there for bargin prices which means more spending money for activities.
