Wedding traditions of Santorini

A volcanic island where small whitewashed chapels host weddings over the caldera.

Santorini draws couples from around the world who marry with the sunset over the Aegean. Orthodox ceremonies in a chapel take place alongside civil ceremonies at the town hall.

A wedding here

Many destination couples marry in a chapel at Oia or Imerovigli with an Orthodox priest or a civil celebrant. Local people also marry in the island churches with their families.

Food and music

Fava, tomato fritters and grilled fish are served. A violin and laouto, a lute, may lead the dance.
