You say she likes heat, so does that mean you want beaches along with rich history?

The Amalfi Coast of Italy is beautiful and very popular. I just stayed in Sorrento, a charming small city an hour subway ride south of Naples. It's a well-kept city, not like Naples at all (staying in Naples doesn't come recommended from anyone I've met). But you're only an hour ride from the historical sites of Naples, and only 30 minutes ride from Pompeii! Everyone should see Pompeii if they go to Italy at all, it was a prosperous Roman city that was engulfed in AD 79 and perfectly preserved by the volcano Vesuvias. It's like entering a true Roman city that hasn't changed a bit for 2000 years. Also, a day trip to Vesuvias itself is possible from Sorrento, and so is a day trip to the famous island of Capri.

I really recommend Sorrento. But it can be any town along the Amalfi Coast, I think they must all be beautiful. It's just that Sorrento is close to a lot of other sights, but lets you sleep in one of the nicer and not too expensive towns along the coast.

I stayed in a hostel (which aren't honeymoon friendly! You stay in rooms with six or more people that you don't know), so I can't recommend a hotel. But I saw many nice looking ones just walking around.

Thought I'd give my two cents. Have you heard of the country of Malta? If you want heat and gorgeous beaches, the Maltese islands offer some of the best in the world. And it's part of the EU, so it's not a third-world country or anything.

Hm that sounds really interesting, but again I say that we don't have a car (and since I don't have my license, she'd have to do all the driving alone, which sucks).
But I'll keep it mind. :)
How are prices there BTW?

Re: Honeymoon suggestions/choice
 

No no no, I don't drive either! Travel between Sorrento--Pompeii--Naples is all by train. Or really it's a subway, the Circumvesuvian railway line specifically for those three cities. In Malta everything is accessible by bus, and Malta is super safe so no worries about getting robbed on the bus.

Sorrento is about as expensive as the rest of Italy. So if you're thinking of going to Rome or Florence or any other city, it'll be about the same price. I don't know how much it compares to Holland, but staying in Italy wasn't cheap. I don't know hotel prices because I stayed in hostels, but 5 Euros for a pint of beer wasn't uncommon, and spending 10 Euros on a cafe light lunch was usual, too.

I'm thinking that you don't have enough options.










Maybe, just maybe you could spend the whole thing going nowhere and just staying home for however long you planned to go away...........
