Corfu, Greece
The island’s Byzantine churches and Venetian fortresses only add to its natural beauty. This mountainous island is home to impressive landscapes and rich vegetation, due to its winter rains.

The island is also home to two UNESCO world heritage sites; Aldabra, the world’s largest coral reef, and Praslin’s Vallée de Mai, which was once believed to be the original site of the garden of Eden.

Last, but definitely not least, the Maldives are an island nation–or better yet, a haven–in the Indian Ocean, with hundreds of gorgeous sandy islands. The perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway, you and your partner can enjoy a private dinner under the starry skies of the Maldives.
