Greece is one of the most popular wedding destinations, offering breathtaking landscapes, beautiful sunsets, and guaranteed sunshine.

The Best Months to Say “I do”
May to June
May and June offer mild temperatures, between 20-30c, ideal for outdoor ceremonies. One of the other perks is that being just outside of peak summer season, there are fewer crowds, and flights and accommodation tend to be a lot cheaper - win, win! Then there’s the landscape; the blooming surroundings and crystal-clear waters create picture-perfect settings.
September to October
It’s hot, hot, hot - but not too hot like the intense summer heat. As we step into autumn, whilst the sun is still blaring, it also makes for stunning autumnal sunsets, perfect for wedding photos. And of course, things tend to be a bit cheaper, and there is a lot more availability, perfect for those last-minute weddings!

From later ceremonies and receptions to inside venues offering air conditioning, there is always something we can do.
