If you’re planning a honeymoon tour, Europe is home to some of the most romantic destinations on Earth, from sailing around Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast on board a luxury yacht, to floating over the fairytale rock formations of Cappadocia in Turkey via hot air balloon. Then there’s the option of soaking in hot springs in Iceland, hopefully watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky. Putting together a European honeymoon? We’ve done all the hard work for you.

Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, for island hopping and clifftop walks

Island hopping around the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia offers some of the country’s most quintessential romantic experiences. There are turquoise waters to swim in, hidden bays and secluded beaches to discover, and dramatic cliff top walks to enjoy, as well as ancient castles, historic towns and wild, uninhabited islands to explore. If you want to pack all this into one trip, join Culture Trip’s Dalmatian Coast trip, which starts in Split and travels around the coast. Couples will love taking photos in the lavender fields of Hvar, wandering around the Medieval squares of Korčula and kayaking around Marjan Hill off the coast of Split.

Greek Cyclades, for a whirlwind island-hopping adventure

Is there a more romantic way to toast your honeymoon than by watching the sun go down over Santorini’s blue-domed, white-washed buildings? We think not, which is why we end our eight-day Greek odyssey doing precisely that. It’s the perfect spot to reflect on visiting the Acropolis in Athens and reminisce about the charming fishing villages of Milos and the pristine Mediterranean beaches of Naxos. The beauty of Greece as a honeymoon destination is that you don’t have to choose between beach relaxation and culturally enriching getaway – this trip does both in spades.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
