For short haul travel and freedom from jet-lag, regional destinations have a lot to offer honeymooners.
Turkey
What more could you want? Europe and Asia all blended into one, and with history from early civilization, splendid architecture, natural beauty and modern luxury convenience, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
Who said history and honeymoons were not compatible? Take a stroll down the Turkish Mediterranean Riviera of Antalya, shop for unique silk, leather, carved wood, carpets and rare items in Istanbul, get entertained in the city’s finest restaurants and glamorous night life, and then for the coup de grace: visit the past, immerse yourself in history’s beginnings at archaeological museums or the many historical castles that will inspire awe and wonder.
Cyprus
Honeymooners can rejoice in the fact that there is a nearby island that is also a perfect destination for honeymooners’ romantic escapes. Cyprus boasts sun-kissed beaches, soft sandy beaches, visits to mountain top villages for traditional charm and culture, and a history that dates back to over 9,000 years.
An island steeped in antiquity but offering modern tourist amenities soaked in sun and edged by sand is a perfect getaway from honeymooners looking for more than just a typical island holiday.
Egypt and Red Sea Resorts
The land of Pharoahs, Cairo. The city of ancient treasures and monumental achievements. Immerse yourself in history while stopping off to visit the great Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza, bargain at the bustling Khan El Khalili bazaar and then cruise down the Nile to visit the ancient sites along the Nile: the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens, the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo and Aswan. Take a romantic ride on a felucca.
A holiday destination by all accounts perfect, Red Sea resorts have so much to offer the honeymooning couple.
While you’re in Egypt, don’t miss out on the Red Sea experience.
In Sharm Al Sheikh, enjoy all the action of life under the bright blue waters of the coral reefs. Scuba dive, snorkel, soak in the sun, spend the evening exploring the desert by quad bike, dine in tranquility at night.
In Hurghada, enjoy a vibrant nightlife that turns to the tranquility of sparkling clear waters in the day and the joys of spending time in the sun and sand. An action-packed town that offers all the amenities for divers, water lovers and sun soakers.
For the ultimate in diving facilities, there’s the exciting new development of Port Ghalib. Located south of Hurghada, Port Ghalib boasts the second largest man-made swimming lagoon, international luxury hotels, an international marina, retail outlets and Egyptian bazaars and countless water and land activities.
For honeymooners, Red Sea resort getaways are as romantic and as memorable as any far-flung exotic holiday destination.
Lebanon
Lebanon, with its gentle climate, fascinating history, superb shopping,
lively nightlife and sophisticated modern culture is a Mediterranean
jewel just waiting to be discovered. The country offers an immense
variety of travel experiences, from playing at the famous Casino du
Liban, shopping for elegant fashions and dining at intimate restaurants
to exploring the ancient Phoenician, Greek, Roman and Arab sites, or
skiing on the snow-capped mountains just a short distance from Beirut.
Whilst geographically small, Lebanon's an ideal holiday destination for
both a short break or a longer stay.
What Lebanon offers:
- Pagan sites
- Phoenician sites
- Roman and Byzantine city ruins
- Islamic mosques
- Crusader castles
- 19th century oriental architecture
- Stunning coastline
The city of Beirut is one of the most attractive in the eastern
Mediterranean. With the civil war now firmly in the past, the Lebanese
capital is being reconstructed to ensure that the 21st century city
retains its Levantine flavor. Business and tourism are rapidly returning
and Beirut is fast regaining its reputation as the Paris of the Middle
East.
