Study reveals the most magical spots to get engaged this year

Thinking about popping the question this year?

Cappadocia, Turkey

If you’re planning to pop the question in 2025, or simply looking for fun ideas, a new study has revealed the most enchanting places around the world to get engaged. The research, conducted by engagement ring specialists Angelic Diamonds, developed a “perfect proposal destination index” by analyzing 80 global destinations based on key romantic factors. These included the percentage of romantic hotels and restaurants, annual hours of sunshine, and the average cost of a bottle of wine – because no proposal is complete without a toast.

Topping the list is Imerovigli, Greece, a cozy village perched along the caldera cliffs of Santorini. Scoring an impressive 88.04 on the index, Imerovigli boasts more than 3,600 hours of sunshine annually, the most of any destination on the list, and an incredible 63% of restaurants rated as romantic. Wine lovers will also be pleased: a bottle averages just £4.22 ($5.25 USD). Recommended proposal spots include Skaros Rock for panoramic sunset views and Anastasi Church with its iconic blue dome.

Eat like a local: 2025’s best affordable foodie destinations revealed

The best budget-friendly food cities you haven't heard of (yet)

Alassio Italy

Airbnb’s 2025 summer travel trends report is in, and it’s clear that travelers are hungry, but also smart about where they spend. This year, food-loving explorers are skipping the overpriced hotspots and heading to more affordable, authentic culinary destinations around the globe. While Amsterdam and Positano still have their charm, they’re being traded in for places where you’re less likely to get served a tourist menu and more likely to discover the heart of a local food scene.

Leading the list is Alassio, Italy, a gorgeous coastal town that offers the beauty of Positano without the inflated price tags. Here, fresh-caught seafood, wild herbs, and the region’s famous Riviera Ligure DOP olive oil take center stage.
