Bora Bora, in French Polynesia, is the world's most coveted honeymoon island, with overwater villas, a turquoise lagoon and the backdrop of Mount Otemanu. There are no direct flights from Istanbul; the journey is typically multi-stop via Paris and Papeete (PPT): for example Air France to Tahiti via Paris, Air Tahiti Nui into Papeete, then a short Air Tahiti inter-island hop to Bora Bora (BOB). To be honest, with layovers this is a very long trip well over 24 hours. But it is exactly the once-in-a-lifetime, bucket-list route you dream of.
