Santorini is definitely one of the most beautiful and romantic places in the world. It offers a dramatic landscape, the ideal setting for this very important moment in your life. Dolphin Hellas organizes civil weddings on this magnificent Greek island, which makes an excellent starting point not just for your honeymoon but also for a lifetime!
The packages outlined here below are examples of what we can organize but are not restrictive. Let us know what you would like and we will arrange it for you. All services are for just two persons, the bride and the groom. We offer special prices for your family and friends that would like to attend.
The
wedding site is the courtyard of the Chapel of St. Irini. Located a few
kilometres outside
Fira, the
capital of Santorini, it is practically hanging over the cliffs and offers a
dramatic view to the sea and the volcano. The small, whitewashed church (closed
during the ceremony) is along the road that leads to Oia but its roof is at
street level. Two flights of steps (about 10-15 on each side) lead to the
courtyard, which has space for about 30-40 guests. |
