Best Dream Home Destinations in Europe

Paris and Venice aren't the only ideal honeymoon destinations in Europe. As such a vast continent, there are numerous places that you may not have considered.

Here, you'll find something for everyone, including everything from magical castle stays in the Emerald Isle to sun-drenched escapes in the Greek Islands and everything in between.

The Greek Islands

Santorini is one of the most popular Greek Island honeymoon destinations. Here you can soak in the sun on picturesque beaches, sail the spectacular Aegean sea, and explore craggy cliffs dotted with white-washed buildings. It also offers an exciting nightlife and a wide range of fantastic dining opportunities. But if you're looking for something that's a bit off the beaten path, you may want to consider Fournoi. This island is filled with unique, untouched beauty as the perfect romantic destination to really get away from it all. While you won't find a lot going on after dark, that's part of the island's charm. You may be able to find a perfect beach to call your own.

Ireland

Throughout the Emerald Isle there are numerous magical destinations ideal for romance. This land is guaranteed to enchant, whether you're looking for a sophisticated modern city with lots of culture, or a remote village at the edge of a turquoise sea. You can even spend the night, or longer, in an elegant castle like Abbeyglen in Connemara or Drumoland in County Clare. For a wildly romantic adventure, consider heading to the Aran Islands, just off the country's west coast, where horse-drawn carriages are available to transport you to a cozy, fire-lit cottage at the edge of the Atlantic.

Prague

Prague is one of Europe's most beautiful and romantic cities. It's also ideal for those on a tight budget as it's one of the least expensive cities in Europe to visit. Wandering charming, cobblestone streets it's easy to imagine how the surreal tales by Franz Kafka were inspired. The majestic castle overlooking Old Town and Gothic architecture truly lend a sense of mystery and romance to the atmosphere.

Scotland's Isle of Skye

The Isle of Skye offers a real-life fantasy world for honeymooners searching for the ultimate in solitude and breathtaking scenery. Here you can spend your days walking lush green hills, past fascinating rock formations, cascading falls that plunge to an aquamarine colored sea, or explore the Fairy Glen, a miniature landscape of conical hills, buttes and a picturesque loch. When it's chilly out, head to the Talisker Whisky Distillery for a tour and a taste of some of the finest single-malt whiskey, or visit Dunvegan Castle, the oldest inhabited castle in Scotland which dates all the way back to the ninth century.

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, Croatia offers the chance to enjoy beautiful white sand beaches and crystal blue waters as well as vibrant city life and Baroque palaces. Charter a boat and explore remote islands off the coast. The sparsely populated islands of Sipan, Lopud and Kolocep offer a wealth of uncrowded stretches of picturesque sands, while the green island of Mljet is known as one of the most beautiful on the Adriatic coast.
