Hidden Honeymoon Gems - Tremiti Islands, Italy - part of the weddings video series by GeoBeats.

Clear blue waters of the Adriatic Sea are a perfect setting for a romantic honeymoon.

Tremiti Islands are situated just off the coast of southeastern Italy.

This archipelago consists of five islands, three of which are uninhabited due to either their low elevation or infertile composition.

The two inhabited islands feature a vast array of landscapes, including arid limestone, dense woods, and sandy beach.

Some of Italy's political prisoners, from as far back as the Roman Empire to the years of Mussolini's reign, have been confined here.

In 1989, the Tremiti Islands' importance and beauty were confirmed when it was named a natural marine reserve.
