We started talking about our honeymoon on the weekend. FH said that he was taking over at least the narrowing down options side of it and I was so happy and relieved!! Unfortunately he failed to take zika and the weather into his calculations so two of his suggestions (Maldives, Japan) fell away right away. We live in Germany and his other two suggestions were US east or west coast but as an Australian the US doesn't feel "different" or "special" enough for me to want to make it our honeymoon destination. I'd like to see it one day but traipsing around cities doesn't really appeal to me as our honeymoon.
I'd love to do the typical 'lying on the beach' thing but it seems like basically everywhere tropical has a risk of zika, and as we'll be TTC right away obviously those are out of the question. I think FH is less keen on just lying on the beach so I was thinking a Greek island could be an option - plenty of beach but also culture. I've been to Greece before though (FH hasn't) but only to Crete and there are a whoooole lot more islands.
Does anyone have any magical zika-free tropical destinations or any other ideas for us? We're planning on going at the end of July/start of August.
Quick facts:
- we live in Germany
- I come from Australia
- We're travelling to Australia in October for my brother's wedding so don't want anything too much in that direction (NZ, Fiji etc)
- I've already seen a lot of Europe
