Saint-Tropez

Poor man's Saint-Tropez

Think Hollywood A-lister playground, jet-setter rendezvous, outdoor cafés lining small ports, the yachting elite in haute couture rubbing shoulders with royalty and other sophisticated society insiders -- think Saint-Tropez. Now, think of the afore mentioned hoopla, but without heed to wellborn etiquette and pomp and circumstance. Cassis, the quaint French island less than 20 miles from Marseille, is, at first glance, a charming 18th Century small fishing port. But a quick jaunt through the unassuming port town reveals a perfect summer adventure with intimate beaches and deep blue water open to 13 miles of sandy coastline. It's not hard to understand why this is one of the French Reviera’s best kept secrets.

Venice, Italy

Love is in the air Love conquers all, even a bad economy. While you're scrimping and saving to afford a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon or special vacation, use the downtime to scope out 10 of the planet's most romantic destinations -- so when you're good to go, you'll know where to go to make memories that last a lifetime! Venice, Italy Gondolas of snuggled lovers quietly slip through inky black canals at sunset. City lights dance on the water and set romance aglow as the evening darkness draws in. In Venice , all is quieter in the evening, when the day tourists are gone and lovers are left behind to stroll through narrow city streets and across small bridges. Dinners along the Grand Canal are splendid, especially at the Naranzaria in the heart of the Rialto, where the specialty of the house is raw food. If money is no object, lovers can sleep like royalty in the Gritti Palace , an actual doge’s palace built in 1525. By day, the Bridge of Sighs whi...
