How do you possibly decide where to go for your honeymoon? Without even thinking about it, most people will instantly have a few solid ideas for their potentially perfect honeymoon destinations.

After I had been thinking about some of the world’s most beautiful places, I asked some friends where they would imagine having their honeymoon.

Despite not being engaged or married, they all instantly had a few ideas, many of which are considered to be some of the world’s more romantic spots and all beautiful in their own way.

From exotic adventures and tropical island escapes to enchanting cobblestone streets in some of Europe’s most romantic places, here are some of the front runners for spectacular honeymoon destinations, once you make it down the aisle of course.

Santorini, Greek Islands

The white-washed walls of Greece and the Greek Islands are a magnet for visitors. With Santorini the undeniable champion, newlyweds can watch sweeping sunsets, stay in hotels with built-in pools and just escape your daily life.

Paris, the original city of love, simply cannot be excluded from this list.
