Where should I go on honeymoon?

Getting married next June, and want to go on honeymoon for probably 2 weeks straight after (dont think we can stretch to 3). We're starting to think about where to go.

We want somewhere that has a mix of luxury, beach and adventure. I dont want to do a typical package holiday. I want to see the real parts of the country and not just the tourist resorts.

Maybe do something like stay in a tourist resort for a week, then go into the countryside for a week.

India appeals to me, but apparently June isn't the right time of the year.

Egypt is the furthest, and best holiday we've had. Other than that we've only been to typical European resorts (Zante, Gran Canaria, Algarve, Majorca, Turkey), so dont really know where to start when going further a field.

Dont want to spend loads, budget will probably depend on how much the rest of the shindig costs.

Any thoughts?

How about fiji? just a thought lol first place that came into my mind...weird mind i know.

Go to Malta, I'd say. Quite a nice little place, and it's only like 80 miles from one end to the other or something, quite a small-ish place, but loads to see... 2 weeks would be a leisurely pace. If you need a hand hit me up in a PM, will advise on where to go/stay.

North Cyprus

Cheap in June (not school hols) and not euro - but theyl take everything and anything!
Perfect time heat wise - overwhelming in august.
Not one fast food chain in sight, not at all westernised, tranquil and unspoilt (not your chavy spanish resort!)
Excellent scenery with beautifull places to visit!
Extremely welcoming people.
Beaches are gorgoues!
A whole range of hotels/resturants.
There are really really busy parts, but 10 minutes away and it feels like youve got the Island to yourself!

I am bias as have a place out there - im goin twice this summer! as im 1/4 Turkish Cypriot.

its close to home, without bieng over western! but if you did fancy a slightly more western time (I doubt) you could cross the border!! personally I hate goin on holiday to a place which is a 'hot britain'!! but saying that you wont feel alien there, as every1 speaks english etc..

Just a suggestion!

North Cyprus is very nice - greek Cyprus (south) is very touristy, but does have some great sightseeing/ruins etc etc

I lived in the south for 3 years.
