7 BEST WEDDING VENUES IN GREECE


1. MILOS COVE

Inspired by the island's lunar-like, dramatic landscape, Milos Cove is the perfect venue for those looking for something out of the ordinary among the Greek islands. Milos Cove puts a contemporary spin on the "white house by the sea" aesthetic Greek islands are usually associated with. Instead, it embraces the volcanic grays, softened by shades of beige allowing for a sophisticated yet unpretentious feel.


WHERE: Milos FOR WHO: Explorers at heart & couples dreaming of a different kind of island wedding WHY WE LOVE IT: Epic ceremony backdrop potential

2. DEXAMENES SEASIDE HOTEL

A post-industrial space turned into a chic boutique hotel, with old wine tanks transformed into modern, elegant suites? No need to pinch yourself, it's not a dream, it's Dexamenes hotel. Designed by no other than K-studio, this hotel has everything: clean lines, raw, almost rough textures, complemented by the excellent choice of furniture and finishes. Allowing for complete exclusivity, this daring venue is perfect for a bigger yet private celebration, and all while marveling at the stunning sea views.


WHERE: Kourouta, Peloponnese FOR WHO: Bold minimalists looking for a 360 wedding experience and a big, fun party WHY WE LOVE IT: "Not your typical wedding venue" in the best way possible

Thanks to the intimate atmosphere, this boutique venue is perfect for small, intimate destination weddings and elopements. The earthy tones and the natural, almost organic finishes add an elevated feel to the idea of slow living.

5. KALESMA

With a star-studded team working on this hotel, Kalesma makes for one of the most dreamy destination wedding venues out there. While the world-renowned K-studio designed a place that doesn't feel like a hotel at all, responsible for the interior Studio Bonarchi ensured it feels like a home away from home. Located off the main tourist area of the island, Kalesma offers privacy and uninterrupted, breathtaking sea views. Ideal location for medium to bigger size celebrations.

Added bonus? This venue does not only tick all the design boxes but also is approved for all sorts of civil and religious ceremonies. And it has an on-site chapel too!

Carefully crafted by the Athens-based Interior Design Laboratorium, Istoria seduces with its tranquility, intimacy, and quiet, relaxed luxury - a perfect place to celebrate and romance.

7. PARILIO

The essence of the Cycladic serenity, where the scenic nature meets contemporary Mediterranean architecture. Parilio is the definition of minimalism done right - stripping the design of everything unnecessary to let the raw, quality materials take the center stage. Appreciated by the design and traveler communities alike, this sublime 33-suite retreat might just be the truest depiction of the "less but better" mantra.



WHERE: Paros FOR WHO: modern minimalists with a soft spot for Northern African design influences WHY WE LOVE IT: For the clean lines and making us fall in love with the elevated simplicity
