Italy’s Top 6 Most Romantic Honeymoon Destinations

First on our list is Pantelleria, known as the ‘Black Pearl of the Mediterranean.’ Although it is one of the least known islands of Italy, it is a fabulous destination. Beautiful, quiet, secluded and romantic, Pantelleria is a paradise. Lying to the south of the western most tip of Sicily, it is the largest of all the Sicilian islands. Its coastline varies from dramatic to gentle and extends for 31 miles, with a climate that is dominated by the gentle breezes. It is the sea that attracts most visitors, with cliffs, inlets, caves and grottos lining the coast, making a trip around the island a fascinating excursion. A trip to its interior brings visitors to La Montagna Grande, a national park area and the island’s highest peak, which offers wonderful views of Pantelleria and the sea. For couples, the most memorable times of their special trip might well be the moments spent together lounging by the water or enjoying the marvelous cuisine, where its crown jewel is the lavishly sweet Passito di Pantelleria wine, awarded UNESCO Heritage status in 2014.
