In destination weddings, as in real estate, it’s all about location, location, location! And the location in everybody’s mouth is the mythical Peloponnese in Greece. Just picture a peninsula resembling a large island in the Mediterranean Sea with imposing rolling mountains. Then picture heavily wooded forests and breath-taking peaks, idyllic lakes and running rivers, inviting turquoise water beaches and spectacular rocky coastlines. Picture ancient monuments, medieval citadels, Byzantine churches, picturesque cobblestone streets and beautiful little villages. Picture handmade traditional flavours and tasteful products straight from the fertile Peloponnesian land… Now, picture no more: because the Peloponnese is the perfect wedding destination in Greece!
Destination Wedding in Kyparissi, Laconia – Heaven on Earth!
In the Peloponnese, so suitably close to Athens, history and legend await you among the silver olive groves and the rows of vineyards, the footpaths and the villages of mountainous Laconia and Arcadia (see Taygetos, Parnonas and Mainalo). Say hello to towers, lighthouses, castles, bridges, ports, bays and greet the Aegean and the Myrtoan Seas (see Mystras, Monemvasia, Tainaro, Gythio, Areopolis, Limeni, Kardamili). Wonderful places that will gift you with inspiring sunsets, refreshing dives, rejuvenating strolls, delightful song birds and many heartfelt hugs.
Destination Wedding in Kyparissi, Laconia – Heaven on Earth!
Kyparissi impresses before you even get there, with its steep cliffs and exciting swirling roads. Quiet, small and picturesque, yet so rich in beauty, uniqueness and unforgettable experiences. A blessed place that combines sea and land in a perfect union. A front with golden beaches, picturesque coves and rocky coasts, but also trees and big rock formations ideal for climbing at the back. Footpaths for hiking in nature, but also romantic strolls and relaxing in the village. And of course coffee as a staple, traditional confections and irresistible culinary delights, hospitality and welcoming people eager to recount the history of Kyparissi, as well as their own!
Destination Wedding in Mani, Laconia & Messinia – Let's elope here!
Mani is divided between the prefectures of Messinia and Laconia. In the south of the Peloponnese, there are hilltop villages against a rocky and challenging backdrop, dominated by towers and tower houses. As you get closer to the seaside, there are fishing villages, with their small ports and shops, narrow streets and well-kept courtyards. Ideal for an adventurous road trip, offering many photo ops and moments for gazing and contemplation.
Destination Wedding in Gythio, Laconia – A romance equal to the love story of Helen and Paris
Gythio, seaport of Ancient Sparta, is a popular local wedding destination in the Peloponnese. It unravels in an amphitheatre-like layout on the hillsides facing the sea, with beautiful neoclassical buildings to admire while strolling the streets that overlook the port, the archetypal stroll that leaves you yearning for more sea, more sun, more of everything. The islet of Cranae, connected to the land by a causeway, is an ideal place for beautiful photos, with a lighthouse, but you can also find in Gythio an ancient theatre, even a shipwreck to explore in Valtaki, amazing beaches, tasty sea food and Mani’s very special pies! According to legend, Paris of Troy and Helen of Sparta spent their first night together in Cranae, one more reason why you should not miss this romantic wedding destination in Greece.
Destination Wedding in Monemvasia, Laconia – A love that endures time
Monemvasia needs no introduction. With its medieval fortress it is the land of tales. A monolith that rises from the sea and takes you to times past in a whirlwind time-travelling experience as soon as you pass through its gate. Wandering its cobbled streets, you are overwhelmed by an urge to explore every corner, every little street, taking in every little detail. You will feel a mixture of awe and tranquillity. Poetry, history and love will find you there.
Destination Wedding in Kardamili, Messinia – You are my whole world!
Kardamili, on the Messinian Mani, is a small but beautiful place. It lends itself to enjoyable strolls, hiking and cycling. A seaside getaway, with plenty of beaches, it generously offers stunning views, beauty, and wonderful tastes. Kardamili is known for the picturesque Old Kardamili, the home of Sir Patrick Leigh Fermor with its Mediterranean garden of cypress trees, olive trees, fragrant shrubs, white oleanders and wild flowers, the International Jazz Festival, and its very artistic and creative community that organises many events throughout the year.
Destination Wedding in Pylos, Messinia – A wedding that will go down in history
Pylos has a history that commands attention: from the Homeric king Nestor, to the events of Sphacteria during the Peloponnesian War and the decisive Naval Battle of Navarino. But it also wins you over with its sightseeings and natural beauty: the walls of Niokastro, Paleokastro which you can visit on foot, the small island of Sphacteria, the magical village of Gialova with a beautiful lagoon, and Voidokoilia, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Peloponnese and an important bird habitat. Beautiful places that fascinate, just like the delicious food offered in the meticulous local taverns. And if you are in search of some more “modern” fun, there are plenty of options as well.
The Peloponnese is a land of small and great wonders, with a tempo of things that carries centuries-old wisdom, offering a full unforgettable experience. Could you dream of anything better for a special destination wedding in Greece?
