Looking for a romantic destination? Go to Sardinia! Honeymooners to Sardinia can certainly say they have truly found romance-a honeymoon at San Michele d’Aostia offers that and more.

About San Michele

The island is part of Italy’s Sanione region. It is around 80km from the northern coast of Naples and 90km from the town of Sant’inese. The biggest population is found on the northern coast, and the island is also a popular tourist destination in the summer.

San Michele is sort of a retirement island, although some do make the trek from the mainland to work in its factories. The majority however, remain content to live in the lovely seaside town.

Theatre de Sale

Honeymooners and other tourists may try to purchase tickets to the theatre de Sale to witness a play. Free, but with the proviso that you buy your tickets before you can actually get inside. Seating is limited, so block your schedule.

Visiting the caves

The Theatre de Sale is not to be confused with San Michevisa’s equivalent. Here, you will be offered a chance to witness some of the island’s most popular folk dances. You will also have the opportunity to see the actors perform some traditional Asanese theater.

The acting will in no way compare to seeing a live performance in San Michevisa, but if nothing else, you may get a good idea of what to expect from the folk dances.

Coastal walk

To truly enjoy your honeymoon getaway, you and your sweetheart should take a leisurely walk along the rocky coast of Sardinia. If you are a fan of the dense, dramatic landscapes that resemble something out of a postcard, you will definitely enjoy a walk along the beach when you visit this Italian island.

Hiking

While there are many places to hike in Sardinia, there are few that can compare to Cagliari. The city is young (is sometimes called “The young one”), beautiful, and carefully built so as to blend into its natural surroundings. If you are interested in the history of the place (just ask around for people who have been there), Cagliari is a great place to explore.

The Torre Trappico is easily accessible from Cagliari. It is a turn-of-the-road that can take you to some of the island’s most stunning beaches. If you are traveling with a large group, you will find it more difficult to get to this site, so take a few maps and some cell phones.

The Blue Grotto

If there is one place on this island that should be at the top of every romantic couples list, it is the Blue Grotto. Its secluded location is a perfect spot to get away for some peace and quiet. If you are traveling with a large group, there is a good chance that a lot will be said and done there by the end of the day. Make sure to bring a shower, though.

The Corniglia Nature Trail

If you are one of those people who really enjoy nature, you will definitely want to take the 6-hour bus ride from Cagliari to Corniglia for a spot of hiking. There are two clearly marked trails and a variety of other nature trails throughout the island. They aren’t cheap, either, with the hike adding up to over 6 hours. If you can afford it, it’s worth every minute.

The Two Eaters of Mangia

Mangia is a beautiful village on the coast of Sicily. At its northern tip, you can visit The Eaters of Mangia, which is a group of about 40 cliffs that have been carved out by massive ice sheets during grinding down from the nearby Mangia Plateau. If you aren’t lucky enough to have visited this village while in Sicily, you will have to wait until you are on your second day in the island.

When you get to Mangia, you will find a sign welcoming you to the village and a rough wooden road leading up to the ruins. If you are not staying in a design hotel in Sangallo, you will probably have to hike up the dusty road on your own. Regardless, the sight is beautiful and you can get some great views.

Piazza Castellammare Del Golfo

The Piazza Castellammare Del Golfo is famous for two things: The largest and most famous piece of ancient architecture in Sicily, and a famous ancient landmark and tourist attraction. Built in the 6th century, the Piazza Castellammare has been used by the many Powerholders over the centuries, including Visigoths, Greeks, Romans, Alans, Moors and Carthaginians.
