Cameo Island is a small, private island off the shore of Laganas, Zakynthos. The island—actually more an islet—has a beach that can be hired for a private wedding ceremony by the water. Accessible by a footbridge, the islet is ideal for an intimate wedding. There are many wedding agencies that offer Cameo Island wedding packages, with a reception in a nearby taverna.

Orloff Resort, Spetses

ORLOFF RESORT, Spetses

A beautiful and cosmopolitan island, Spetses is often considered a romantic destination for many. So why not take the opportunity to exchange your vows in the scenic Orloff resort, near the Old Harbor of the island. This little haven of tranquility offers casual luxury in the dedicated area by the pool, with a reception at the award-winning restaurant on site. Your guests may even benefit from special room fare. So make yourself and everyone happy with a grand wedding in one of the most beautiful hotels on the island.

Kinsterna Hotel, Monemvasia

Located in one of the most romantic spots in Greece, Kinsterna Hotel is the ideal wedding venue for those looking for a spectacular place to exchange their vows. This stunning historic mansion by the sea has developed some expertise in catering to your desires and can easily create a bohemian-chic party or a fairytale wedding, just like the one you always dreamed of. Rooms are made available for the happy couple and their guests for a memorable occasion.

Theros Wave Bar, Santorini

Of course, no destination wedding list of Greece would be complete without mentioning Santorini, the island that oozes romanticism. Switch up your game and ditch the typical caldera view. You can of course ask your photographer to do your wedding shoot there later, but for now take a step back and trust Theros Wave Bar for your big day. Start with the ceremony on the beach or on the wooden terrace, then relax on the comfy lounge beds or by the bar. For the reception, have a lovely dinner in a relaxed ambiance before kicking your shoes off and dancing the night away.

Church of Agios Ioannis, Skopelos

The Church of Agios Ioannis in Skopelos is the location for one of the film’s most memorable moments

Get yourself a Mamma Mia wedding on the idyllic island of Skopelos. Relive the iconic wedding scene in the lovely church of Agios Ioannis, perched on top of a rock. After you say “I do,” have your photoshoot by the church, or choose to explore the several movie locations across the island. Or skip the church and have your ceremony on the Amarantos rocks, where you can take spectacular photos with your spouse. And even if you are not a fan of the movie, just know that Skopelos was a romantic destination long before the movie came out.
