Weddings in Greece
Whitewash, caldera light, island logistics
Greece gives you the most photographed light in the world and the most demanding logistics. Santorini and Mykonos sell the view; the Peloponnese, Crete, Corfu and Athens riviera sell space, easier access and better value. Choose the island by guest count, not by Instagram.
Caldera vs mainland
Caldera terraces in Santorini cap at 60–120 guests and price accordingly. For 150+, look at Crete, the Peloponnese or the Athens coast.
Wind is the real variable
Plan a wind contingency for any exposed cliff or beach setup — a rented structure is cheaper than a ruined dinner service.
- Venues
- 23
- Best months
- Late May – June and September – early October. Meltemi winds peak in July and August.
- Legal & paperwork
- Civil weddings are available to non-residents through the local municipality; expect apostilled documents and translations, and allow several weeks. Most planners here run the paperwork as a package.
- Getting there
- Athens (ATH) connects to every island. Direct summer flights serve Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Corfu and Rhodes — but a ferry leg is common, so build a buffer day.

Getting married in Greece
- How much does a wedding in Greece cost?
- Mainland Greece and Crete run about €85–€180 per head for food and drink; Santorini and Mykonos sit well above that. A 100-guest wedding typically totals €35,000–€75,000 before travel and accommodation.
- How many guests can a Santorini caldera venue hold?
- Most caldera terraces cap between 60 and 120 guests because of the terrain. For 150 or more, Crete, the Peloponnese, Corfu or the Athens riviera give you space at better value.
- How long does the Greek paperwork take?
- Allow several weeks. Non-residents need apostilled and translated documents filed with the local municipality, which is why nearly every couple here works with a local planner who handles the filing.
