No matter what the type of your beach wedding will be, from a bare foot ceremony to an elegant one with white covered chairs, you can always keep the magic going by having the wedding reception at a seaside restaurant.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of chapels in Crete, all of them with a breathtaking view, for your dream chapel wedding ceremony.
Fancy a sense of history for your big day?
The small island of Spinalonga, in Elounda bay, famous from Victoria Hislop’s book “The Island”, is ideal for a historic venue wedding.
The landmark of Rethymno, the Venetian fortress known as Fortezza dated back to 1573, with its amazing view of the big blue of the Aegean Sea, is a unique setting for your historic venue wedding.
With a great tradition in wine production dated back to the ancient times, Crete has plenty of wineries, some of a traditional and some others of a more modern style, to offer for your wedding ceremony and reception, which you can even hire exclusively for your wedding and make your big day a day to remember for you and your guests.
