Brittany and Eugene were married at the Westmount Country Club in October of 2023 and headed to Italy and Greece from May 24 to June 7, 2024. Here’s a snapshot of their honeymoon trip:
Destination:
Italy (Rome, Sorrento, Positano) and Greece (Mykonos and Santorini).
Why Did You Choose to Travel Here?
“We chose Italy because we are both Italian and my husband has never been and it’s been 10 years since I have gone,” Brittany explained. “We were interested in the Amalfi Coast as it was new to both of us and is such a picturesque and romantic location. Plus we love pasta! We chose Greece because it is close to Italy and was a new country for us both. My husband loves seafood so it was perfect for him, and the views are unmatched so we had to see them in person.”

Favorite Restaurants

Favorite Memory
“Tied between sitting on the balcony looking over Positano and swimming in our personal cave pool in Santorini,” Brittany says.
Overall Thoughts
“Wish we had a whole day out on a boat in Positano, not just half a day in Capri,” Brittany says. “The Colosseum was cool but would not do again as it’s a long day and a lot of walking—once is enough.” But they would 100% return to Amalfi and Greece, and they recommend the trip overall: “Yes, 1000% was an amazing trip,” she adds.
Helpful Tips
Brittany advises to not over do it each day and allow for some free days so you can do what you want and have a break if needed.
Travel Advisor
The couple worked with Tahryn Nicastro at Shore to Seas Vacations. “It was amazing to have help after all the wedding planning,” Brittany says. “She made us a nice itinerary to follow, found great hotels and activities, and had great restaurant recs. She was so helpful with all of our questions and listened to all our wants/needs and budget.”
