Venues
With the world-famous sunsoaked cliffs of Santorini to the cosmopolitan appeal of Mykonos and lush island landscapes of Crete and Corfu, Greece is home to some of the most stunning wedding venues in the world. Popular venues include cliffside blue dome chapels, beachfront resorts, luxury villas, vineyards, and yachts, each offering a very special romantic atmosphere.
Culture & Cuisine
Greece is not just a picturesque location—it’s a part of the world steeped in culture and history. Couples can incorporate meaningful Greek traditions into their ceremony, such as the symbolic “Stefana” crowns used in Orthodox weddings or the sharing of “Koufeta” (sugar-coated almonds) as a token of good luck and prosperity.
Greek wedding venues can treat your guests to authentic world-famous Mediterranean cuisine, from fresh seafood and succulent lamb to vibrant Greek salads and creamy tzatziki. Toast with locally produced wines, or indulge in a sweet baklava for dessert. Greek hospitality and flavours will make your wedding a feast for the senses, creating memories you and your guests will cherish long after your big day.
Weather
Greece’s Mediterranean climate makes it a perfect wedding destination year-round. The peak season, from June to September, guarantees sunny skies and warm evenings, ideal for outdoor weddings and celebrations under the stars. The shoulder seasons of April, May, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and more affordable options, making them a favourite for couples looking for exceptional value.
Travel & Accessibility
Travelling to Greece for international visitors is convenient, thanks to its well-connected major airports:
- Athens (ATH): The main hub for international and domestic flights.
- Thessaloniki (SKG): An international airport located in northern Greece.
- Additional airports in Santorini (JTR), Mykonos (JMK), Heraklion (HER), Rhodes (RHO), and Corfu (CFU) make accessing the islands just as convenient..
Greece is also well-served by ferries, offering scenic routes between islands.
Legal process
If you wish to be legally married during your stay at a Greek wedding venue, it’s essential to understand the requirements of either a civil or religious ceremony. Civil weddings are the most popular among international couples due to their simplicity and global recognition. They require key documents, including valid passports, full birth certificates, and certificates of no impediment to marriage, all translated into Greek and notarised with Apostille stamps. Applications must be submitted to the local town hall, and processing can take 3–6 weeks, so early preparation is essential.
Religious ceremonies involve additional requirements, for example baptism certificates and permission from your local church. Both types of ceremonies are legally binding in Greece, but consulting a local planner or legal expert can ensure all requirements are met smoothly, allowing you to focus on celebrating your special day.
