A hot spot for any sort of holiday, Greece is a fantastic place to go on your honeymoon. The country is rich with history and culture, and the food is absolutely amazing.

In these cities, there are beautiful historic buildings to see, such as Diocletian’s Palace in Split.

If you want a culture-rich honeymoon, then Florence is the place for you. The capital city of Tuscany, Florence is rich with Renaissance culture.
