Many people daydream about their wedding because there is this idea that it will be the best day of their whole existence. In reality this notion is extreme as there are always things that go wrong. It is unrealistic to expect everything to be perfect. However, it will definitely be one of the days that you will remember fondly because your significant other and all your loved ones will all be gathered in the same room in order to celebrate love. 

Besides the people attending your wedding, the location is one more element that can elevate and make the whole ritual even more extraordinary. We assume that you would like your wedding to take place in a romantic and beautiful place. Greece is full with spots that match with this description. Are you interested to discover the best among them?

Ithaca

We’ll start with the two typical characteristics of Greece; islands and history. Ithaca is in western Greece, in the Ionian sea. It is one of the central themes in Odyssey, one of Homer’s epic poems, as the protagonist, Odysseus, was struggling to find the way back home to Ithaca and to his family there. Although we still cannot tell for sure if Odysseus was a real person or not, if you visit Ithaca, you will see how beautiful and mesmerizing the place is. 

Athens

The capital of the country could not be missing from this list. People who visit Greece always make a stop in Athens because it is a beautiful city with many hidden gems to discover. By booking your location arrangements on goldenappleweddings.com you can be certain that the church and the reception will match with your preferred style. Athens can accommodate all types of aesthetics; from modern and urban to ancient and mythology-inspired. 

Ioannina

If you are interested in a fairy-tale wedding, then you should probably consider Ioannina. Ioannina is a city in western Greece, famous for the lake Pamvotida and the mountains that surround the whole city. Although Ioannina itself is a beautiful city, you can drive up the mountains and have a look at the villages up there. They all retain their distinct traditional character as you get the sense that you have gone back in time. The fact that all the houses and buildings of each village are constructed with a unique type of stone creates this sense of entering a previous era. 

Crete

We’ll end this list with one more island and actually the biggest island in Greece, Crete. Similarly to all the other recommendations, you can go with any type of style you like. Heraklion, the capital of the island, provides a truly urban environment while it is surrounded by picturesque villages. It goes without saying that if you dream of a wedding by the sea, Crete has a lot of beaches to offer.
