Italy or Greece Honeymoon?
 
My fiance and I are trying to decide between Italy and Greece for our honeymoon. Unfortunately, we only have time for a six night stay in either country. Our trip would ideally include sightseeing, food & wine, and I wouldn't mind a little beach time. Thoughts?

You can't go wrong with either. As far as you posted this here in Greece forum I guess most people would suggest Greece.
I guess final decision will mostly depend on specifics such as when, if you can get direct flights, what kind of deal you are after and so on...

You dont need to start a new thread - just click the triangle and ask the moderators to add Greece to the other thread you started. You can click on your name to see all your posts.

Welcome!

We've been to both and a general thought is that there is a lot to see and do in Italy but in Greece it's more of a relaxing place where you can do very little but still have a great time. I think the Greek islands are very romantic.

With such a short trip, if you chose Greece you could fly into Athens and connect straight out to an island, maybe Santorini (stay in Oia, it's beautiful), then have a couple of days in Athens before flying home.

For Italy, you could fly into Rome, then catch the train to Sorrento and see a bit of the Amalfi Coast, then back to Rome to fly home.

Are you flying in from the States? If so, for the few days you have, I would stick to the closest destination. You can't go wrong with one or the other.
