Weddings fit for gods and goddesses  

Orpheus and Eurydice, Odysseus and Penelope, Paris and Helena – some of the most famous couples in ancient literature have made Greece the stuff of romantic legend. And, with its idyllic scenery, unrivalled history and laidback way of life, it’s little wonder it’s such a popular place to say ‘I do’.  

But, which part of the country will you choose for your big day? There’s mainland Greece, or the picturesque Greek islands, all with their own charms – like Santorini’s iconic blue domes and Rhodes’ ancient city walls. Whichever venue you choose, from beach locations and town halls to cliffsides and hotels, you can get instant confirmation of the date, so there’s more time for you to plan your Greek wedding.
