We’re back from our European honeymoon to Greece and Italy. I wanted to put together a quick post on what I packed for a two-week summer trip to Europe!
Honeymoon Day 12: Beach Day in Positano
Today was our last day of the trip before we head back to the US tomorrow 🥺 (but we get to see Deacon 😊). We’ve had an unbelievable and wonderful start as husband and wife- we are truly blessed!
Honeymoon Day 11: Tastes of Amalfi
If you’ve been on TikTok or Pinterest at all within the last year and a half, you know how popular the Amalfi Coast has become! With such popularity, however, comes great crowds! How do you beat the heat and people? You get up at 6 am to take photos and explore in peace, which is exactly what we did!
Honeymoon Day 9: A Day in Capri!
Today we went to Capri! Yes, the island in Italy’s Bay of Naples known for its rugged landscape, upscale hotels and designer shopping- that was our destination! How were we getting there?- by boat of course!
Honeymoon Day 8: Buongiorno, Italia!
Tristan and I were picked up bright (dark) and early (5:10 am) for our morning flight to Naples! By 11 am, we touched down in Italy! We made our way towards our new destination: Sorrento, known for its abundance of lemons next to the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Honeymoon Days 6-7: Off to Ancient Athens!
Today we sad goodbye to the beautiful Santorini! We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the airport, where we had a quick flight over to Athens, Greece. After we landed, we were driven to Elia Ermou Hotel Athens, which is situated just 800 meters from the world-famous Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. We were conveniently located in the Plaka neighborhood, nestled among the popular shopping streets in Athens, with proximity to several restaurants, bars, and stores.
Honeymoon Day 5: Sunset Catamaran Cruise in Santorini, Greece!
Before our afternoon activities started, Tristan and I walked around Santorini to find more side streets we didn’t have the opportunity to explore earlier in the trip. We came across a few Santorini windmills, most of which were constructed from the 17th-century onwards. Interestingly, many windmills were converted into accommodations during the 18th century!
Honeymoon Day 4: Leisure Day in Santorini, Greece!
Today we had a free day! We grabbed the delicious hotel breakfast and planned out our day’s activities. *Normal* honeymooners would wisely spend this time simply unwinding and recouping from wedding stresses by a pool or on a beach. We are NOT normal. We decided the best use of our day would be to walk anywhere and everywhere, which is cool with me.
Honeymoon Day 3: Exploring Santorini & Wine Tour
Tuesday ~ June 14th, 2022 We woke up to the most incredible breakfast spread ever! I love how typical European breakfasts include a variety of cheeses and cold cuts to choose from, along with a few pastries and fruit. Since…
Honeymoon Days 1-2: Greenville, SC to Santorini, Greece
While we (patiently 😉) wait for our wedding photos to grace our inboxes, I thought I’d get a jump start on posting about our AMAZING honeymoon trip to Europe! We arrived home on Friday and let me tell you, THE…
