Samantha & Ray’s Honeymoon in Europe

Aug 21

Samantha and Ray first came to us back in 2023 when we helped them plan a Caribbean cruise, where they got engaged!

Fast forward to 2025, and we had the absolute joy of planning their honeymoon, this time on a European cruise that combined their two dream destinations: Italy and Greece. They wanted plenty of romance, amazing (and safe!) gluten-free food, and the chance to see as much as possible. Their itinerary took them from Rome and the Amalfi Coast to Sicily, Mykonos, Santorini, and Athens. They had the best time and loved every bit of the incredible gluten-free dining along the way.

Discover why they chose Europe for their honeymoon, what activities they loved most, and which gluten-free dishes were their favorites!

Why did you choose your vacation destination?

It was for our honeymoon, and Italy and Greece were at the top of our bucket list that we wanted to cross off.

Mediterranean Cruise
2 Nights in Rome
2 Nights in Athens

What were your favorite activities on your honeymoon?

Our favorite was the Amalfi Coast - 8-hour tour with a private guide. We got to see many towns in Amalfi and the guide ended our day with a lunch with an amazing view overlooking Sorrento.

What was your most memorable moment on vacation?

Our most memorable was the lunch in Sorrento and our lunch in Mykonos on the water. We loved the food.

What were some of your favorite gluten-free meals?

It was amazing how many places offered gluten-free. I enjoyed the seafood in both Italy and Greece; it was so fresh and cooked in a white wine sauce that I’ve never experienced. Also loved the pizza and pasta in Sicily. I didn’t miss out on any food! They seem to be even better at safe ingredients there.

What was your experience using Gluten-free Vacations?

It was so easy from start to finish. Anjli put a guide together that made my stress completely go away. She thought of everything! When we didn’t want to use the cruise’s excursions, she found one that completely met our needs.

I couldn’t have asked for a better planned trip!! She handled all transfers, which made everything from airport to cruise and cruise to hotel, etc, so easy. I stress easily & she took care of it all. It was great having someone to also make sure I didn’t need to worry about any of my dietary needs. Thank you so much, Anjli! We will definitely be back in contact for our next trip.

Thank you, Samantha & Ray for sharing your trip with us!

Why we love Athens & Rome!

The two cities where they spent the most time were Rome and Athens, as part of their pre- and post- cruise. We love how these cities blend rich history, culture and food all at once. One minute you’re walking past ancient ruins, the next you’re sipping wine over a plate of fresh seafood and enjoying the views of the city. Both are timeless and unique.
