6-unique-reasons-why-Greece-is-THE-wedding-destination

Greece is a country with breathtaking nature no matter where you are. Islands like Santorini, Paros, Mykonos, and Crete, with sunsets that paint the sky, mountain villages with stone-built churches and traditional charm, seaside venues and luxury resorts for those who dream of a beachfront wedding, Greece has something to offer no matter what your taste is!

Greece beautifully blends tradition with modern elegance, you can easily host religious, civil, or symbolic ceremonies and find celebrants of any language. Churches and monasteries are picturesque and full of history. Besides choosing a place just because the view is perfect, you can also allow some time for knowing better the place you visited, its history, its people. There is a saying “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, hence many couples include Greek wedding customs, such as the “stefana” (wedding crowns), lively local music where the Syrtaki (Zorbas the Greek, Ta Paidia tou peiraia etc) are the protagonists, breaking plates and shouting “OPA”, drinking ouzo and shouting “Stin Igeia mas”! Everyone has a little piece of Greece inside him even if he doesn’t know it yet!

Greek hospitality — “philoxenia” — is a world-famous word. It is essentially the ancient Greek concept of hospitality, generosity, and courtesy shown to those who are far from home and need a place to rest. For modern Greeks, it is much deeper than that, it is an unspoken cultural law that shows generosity and courtesy to strangers even to this day. In Villages you might have the opportunity to experience the philoxenia first hand from the locals especially if local festivities are taking place!

Truth to be told, Greece does not belong among the Cheapest Countries in Europe but compared to other European destinations like Italy or France prices are no so high. Greece offers luxurious services at more affordable prices plus the number of companies that provide customized wedding services is growing every year. There is a wide range of talented wedding planners, musicians, photographers, and venues tailored to any style or budget, this means that you have to do your research before choosing a professional vendor and always keep in mind: Cheap does not equal Good.
