Our story

We can’t wait to share Greece with you.

Greece holds a very special place in both of our hearts. It’s where Makis grew up, where his family still lives, and a place that has always been an important part of his life. It has also become a meaningful part of our story together. Greece was the first trip we took together, and it’s where we made some of our favorite memories.

We never imagined that we could actually have our wedding in Greece. It seemed like a beautiful dream. It was our family who encouraged us to consider celebrating this special day in a place that means so much to both of us. Once we started thinking about it, it just felt right.

We chose the Athens Riviera because it gives us the best of both worlds: right on the water, surrounded by the natural beauty that makes Greece so special, while still close enough to experience the incredible history and landmarks of Athens and the surrounding area.

We want this to be more than just a wedding — a trip we can all enjoy together.

Makis and Rose at the Temple of Poseidon at sunset

Temple of Poseidon

An ancient Greek temple on Cape Sounion, famous for its dramatic clifftop setting overlooking the Aegean Sea and its sunset views.

During our stay, we’ll arrange two day trips: Athens to visit the Acropolis and walk through historic neighborhoods, and the Temple of Poseidon for an unforgettable sunset.

Continue the celebration

Paros · Tuesday, September 7

We’ll be traveling to the beautiful island of Paros for our honeymoon, and we invite you to join us and continue the celebration together.

The ferry leaves Athens port and takes about 3.5 hours. Once there, you’ll experience the blue sea, bright sun, sights and food that make the island so special.

Let us know in your RSVP if you’d like to join so we can align on where to stay and schedules.
