Michellina and Paul's Mediterranean Honeymoon!!!

Paul and I are newlyweds and recently enjoyed a 7 day cruise through the Mediterranean for our honeymoon. I must say, if you are considering seeing Europe but still want to have some down time, this is the thing to do! We took MSC Cruises and sailed from Venice to Bari, Santorini, Mykonos, Athens, Corfu and Dubrovnik. Every port was breathtaking, it's hard to choose our favorite spot. The beauty of the Mediterranean cruise is that you can see many different places throughout Europe without the hassle of finding different hotels to stay in and trying to figure out how to get around, etc. You have the whole day to explore various ports on foot, but you also have the evenings to lounge around eating and drinking. If you are thinking about doing this, my suggestion would be to get to the departure city at least a day before in case of any flight delays so that you don't miss your boat. I would also suggest that you stick around in the arrival city at least 2 or 3 nights extra to really unwind. We stayed at great little hotel called Locanda Al Leon in the heart of St. Mark's Square in Venice. The owners were extremely pleasant and very helpful when we made our reservations. Here are some of my favorite photos!
