The scent of the herbs that grow wild across the countryside waft down from the mountains, and its isolated corners provide a breathtaking backdrop for honeymooners or couples stealing a romantic getaway. Chic Hania, the largest city on the island, is sometimes called the "Hollywood of Europe." Hotels fill fast in high season; be sure to book early.
