Honeymoon Tips/Ideas – Early September

Hi all,

My fiancee and I are getting married in early September 2023. We have about a week and half to take for our honeymoon, and a $3-4.5K budget. We're hoping to go to one, maybe two destinations, where we can get a mix of beach/relaxation and culture/adventure. A couple thoughts on our end:

– Azores – although I think it may be a bit chilly for beach

– Colombia – Cartagena and either Bogota or Medellin

– Croatia and Italy

I've looked through a lot of threads and although SE Asia seems to be very popular, we were hoping to avoid traveling quite that far (and have both been to Thailand quite recently).

Any tips on places to stay / specific areas to target in the above list or elsewhere would be welcome, thanks!
