“The Italian Riviera was always on our mind for the honeymoon. What makes a European vacation perfect is the time of year and weather, which is why we went in late August,” says Tina Kakkad Dhanak, co-founder of the blog, The Image Code, who married Abhishek Dhanak, a partner at Dhanak Jewels, on August 6, 2016.
The couple planned an 18-day-long vacation, across Rome, a vineyard in Tuscany, Florence, Positano, and Capri. Spurred by her husband’s love for good food, wine, and adventure, the Dhanaks checked into Il Borro in the Tuscan suburbs, an estate-turned-vineyard run by the (Salvatore) Ferragamo family. And at Capri, they spent a day exploring the island on a private boat, swam near the Faraglioni rocks, and discovered the Blue Grotto.
“We dedicated a day to trying out one dish at every restaurant in Florence,” says Tina, adding that the fare at Locale Firenze and I Fratellini were favourites. The couple also shopped at the many family-run and designer stores in Capri. “A visit to the local museums was the cherry on the cake.”
TURKISH DELIGHT
While Aanam Chashmawala and Geraard Jayaranjan—CEO and COO of the blog, What When Wear, and web developing platform, The TLBX—got married in January 2017, they went on a two-week honeymoon only in March 2019. “We first focussed on our work commitments, and only after that packed off to Turkey,” says Chashmawala.
