Reply To: Romantic place for honeymoon in Europe, August

If you can afford it, Corsica, perhaps the most beautiful 8680 square kilometres in the world (yes, I googled the size!) Mostly for the hills and the coast, but there are plenty of gorgeous towns to explore and the food’s great too.

On the other hand, Venice is amazing, with huge amounts to see and do, and plenty of good food (though admittedly not the best in Italy). But it is overpriced and busy. (I can’t comment on the smell, I’m anosmic.)

But, yeah, it’s still amazing, so it would probably be a really good choice anyway. We’ve had two holidays combining Venice and the Dolomites, and they were two of the best holidays we’ve had; don’t avoid it just because it has become trendy to put it down!
