Wedding receptions in Santorini can take place in a choice of restaurants offering the best Santorinian food, the wineries or you may choose to combine your wedding and reception in one of Santorini’s designer hotels. A la carte and buffet menus are available.

Santorini, otherwise known as Thira, lies in the south of the Cyclades group of Aegean islands and is one of the most dramatic and spectacularly beautiful Greek islands. Your Santorini wedding will be blessed by a breathtaking setting overlooking the caldera and one of the most stunning sunsets in the world.

The island of Santorini has followed a remarkable journey through thousands of years, surfacing during volcanic eruptions from the earth’s core. A trip to the nearby islets of Palea and Nea Kameni will take you to the heart of the volcano. Following the 1640BC eruption, the first civilisation settlement in Akrotiri was covered in volcanic ash and modern day excavations have brought to light a very important archaeological site with magnificent murals. The amphitheatre, colonnades and some 3000-year-old graffiti at the site of Ancient Thira are also worth a visit.

The Byzantine period settlers constructed the wonderful churches of Episkopi and Agia Irini (Santa Irene), whereas the French rule left behind the fortifications of Kastelia and Goulades towers. Due to its fertile soil, Santorini produces high quality wine, cherry tomatoes and fava (yellow split peas). Santonini’s cultural heritage is further enriched by the famous cave houses (yposkafa) and captain’s houses (kapetanospita) that can be found in Fira and Oia.

Santorini is an island of contrasting colours. There are many black sandy beaches such as Perissa, Vlihada and Kamari, the red sand beach of Akrotiri and the more secluded Columbo, Baxedes and Ammoudi. The white traditional Cycladic houses and blue-domed churches built on the black volcanic rock is a sight you will never forget.

All of Santorini’s wedding ceremony venues have views across the Aegean Sea and the volcanoes (It is often possible to arrange your wedding ceremony at sunset)
