package which allows a week on the water sailing and a week in
one of our exotic five-star island villas.
Let us pamper you from the moment you step

and views of the spectacular Acropolis! We will make your perfect
honeymoon something to remember forever!

Santorini
Romance
under the stars on the most beautiful of all the Greek islands,
Santorini. This dramatic volcanic island is the perfect
setting for weddings and honeymoons. Mythologically, Santorini
captavates visitors as it is considered to be the island
of the lost civilisation of Atlantis. The island is full
of history including fascinating Akrotiri, which is an entombed
Minoan town that has preserved history as a time-capsule
since 1500 BC. Uncover the island's natural beauty by visiting
its many beaches, small coves and hiking trails.
We offer five-star secluded villas
with private patios and breathtaking views for honeymooners
or wedding parties. Many of our accommodations blend right
into Santorini's fantastic geological formations. Wedding
packages start from simple civil services for couples to
religious wedding ceremonies organised for larger groups.

Hydra
We offer full wedding services at the enchanting island of Hydra.
Hydra is a 45 minute ferry ride from Athens and it is one of
the most beautiful and picturesque islands in Greece. It has
been an international artists colony for years, making it a
mix of the fashionable jet-setter and the bohemian. It has maintained
its charm as the ancient marble and cobblestone streets are
for pedestrians as there are no motorised vehicles allowed on
the island - only donkey power on Hydra! Civil or Greek Orthodox
weddings are performed all season; May through October. The
mayor of Hydra performs the civil ceremonies at a chosen location
in the town. We recommend the gazebo up at the Sunset lookout
point. It has a panoramic view of the Saronic Gulf and the sunset
over the mountainous Peloponnese coast. The bride can be brought
by pony or water taxi to the location and the Sunset restaurant
is the perfect choice for the reception evening. Guests can
also be taken by boat to secluded beaches on the island for
champagne celebration.
