Getting married means committing to everlasting love and spending the whole life together making memories. One of the most nostalgic and most special memories is surely the honeymoon. That's the time when you can finally enjoy your married life in a wonderful place that you will remember forever.

Which better place than Italy? It's surely one of the most romantic countries in the world, with cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, but there are many less-known destinations that will amaze you. Sicily is a good choice for your honeymoon. In fact, the biggest island in the Mediterranean Sea is a wonderful place. You can get lost in Greek and Roman ruins, breathtaking landscapes, and delicious food.

In this article, you will find some ideas for your honeymoon in Sicily, from the most romantic places on the island to the best couple activities.

Among the legends of Siracusa

Siracusa is a very fascinating city, surrounded by legends that date back to the time of its foundation as a Greek colony in Magna Graecia. The old part of the city, the island of Ortigia, is surely the most romantic place, where Baroque architecture and Greek one merge in front of the sea. Among Piazza Duomo, the fountain of Arethusa, and the beaches, Ortigia is the perfect place if you want to get lost with the love of your life. Moreover, in the surrounding area, you will find beautiful places, such as the archaeological Greek sites, the Natural Reserve of Vendicari, and the cities of Noto, Marzamemi, and Avola.

A dinner at the beach at sunset is the best way to celebrate your love, while the golden rays of the sun light up the white buildings of the center.

Getting lost in the colors of Palermo

Palermo, the biggest city on the island, has a unique mix of cultures. Firstly, you will love getting lost among Baroque, Greek, Norman, and Arabic architecture, as well as the warmth of the people. Secondly, a visit to the old markets of Palermo is a must-see, Ballarò, Vucciria, and Il Capo, where you can find traditional street food as well as fresh products for a homemade romantic dinner. Lastly, the monuments will amaze you, such as Palazzo dei Normanni or the Cathedral.

Trapani and the blue sea

Trapani is another fantastic location in West Sicily, and it used to be one of the most opulent cities on the island. The harbor is probably the most suggestive area, as it still keeps the old charm, where you can surround yourself with that atmosphere and breathe the sea breeze. The architecture is wonderful. You will find the sanctuary of the Madonna of Trapani, as well as the civil and military buildings surrounded by beautiful gardens.

Among the most romantic places, you have to visit "viale delle sirene", near Torre dei Ligny, as it is a terrace overlooking the blue sea.

Valley of Temples and Agrigento

One of the most suggestive places in Sicily is the Valley of Temples, near Agrigento. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Valley of Temples hosts many temples belonging to the Hellenic Era when Sicily was part of Magna Graecia. Moreover, Agrigento is a wonderful city, where you can admire the Arabic architecture merging with the Norman and Greek ones.

Near Agrigento, you will also find Scala dei Turchi, a white cliff where you can lay under the sun and jump in the turquoise water. There will be nothing more romantic than kissing there at sunset.
