Why Ithaca for your Destination Wedding

The proposal has been made! You both dream of a destination wedding in Greece, but not just any destination, you are searching for somewhere that is unique, an island with stunning scenery and natural beauty – you would be looking for Ithaca or as Greeks say Ithaki, a small gem of an island in the Ionian Sea of Greece.

Ithaca or Ithaki is an island steeped in mythology, a place that captures your heart compelling you to return time and time again, an island that is verdantly green, with mountains that plunge into turquoise seas, with a coastline scattered with inviting beaches.

The islands handful of villages are scattered around the coastline or can be found up in the mountains, all retaining the islands traditional architecture, offer stunning views along with a relaxed atmosphere.  Ithaca is the real deal, a small unspoilt corner of Greece, but an island that has something to offer to everyone – beautiful beaches, tempting waterside tavernas, cafes and endless opportunities to explore although the best way is of course by boat.

After living many years in Greece, I fell in love on Ithaca and in love with this stunningly beautiful island, it is where my own wedding took place – in a traditional mountainside Orthodox village church with views overlooking the Ionian Sea.

A destination wedding or celebration of any kind gives an element of added excitement to your forthcoming special day, with images of turquoise seas lapping endless beaches, clear blue skies and the warmth of the summer sun on your skin playing through your minds.

Ithaca is an island with which you fall in love with and fall more in love on, so where better to host your Greek destination wedding other than on Ithaca the ‘island of weddings’.

I am now living my dream, loving this perfect paradise whilst helping couples to bring to life the ‘I do’ moment they have envisaged here on this magical island.

Looking forward to hearing how you envisage your Ithacan destination celebration.
