Weddings in Cyprus

Tie the knot in the birthplace of Aphrodite.

An island that marries scenery and romance

According to legend, Cyprus is the birthplace of the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite. It’s thought the immortal temptress enjoyed secret forest trysts here with a string of ancient gods, like Ares and Adonis. Fast forward a bit, and the Roman general, Mark Antony, is said to have skipped the jewellery and presented the island to Cleopatra as a token of his love. And with all that romance – and over 300 days of sunshine a year – it’s no wonder Cyprus is a popular choice for a destination wedding.

No matter your budget, scenic wedding settings are easy to come by here – you can tie the knot in either Paphos or Larnaca, on a beach, on a cliff overlooking the sea, in a historical town hall, or even on a yacht.

Paphos

The Paphos region lines up loads of wedding-worthy scenery, from Blue Flag beaches to forest-cloaked hills. You can tie the knot in venues like town halls, quaint churches and seafront hotels. And once the ceremony’s over, there’s loads to explore here, like the temples and forts in the history-drenched old town.

Larnaca

The Larnaca region is home to the neon-lit town of Ayia Napa, so people really know how to throw parties around here. That’s not all Larnaca has to offer, though. Peaceful beaches and sprawling countryside are in plentiful supply. As for wedding venues, you can pick from beachfront hotels and historic chapels.
