Peggy and Takis, a vibrant couple from Athens, have a deep-rooted love for Kythira Island, making it the perfect location for their dream wedding. Takis has been visiting Kythira every year since childhood, feeling a profound sense of home each time he arrives. Peggy first visited the island with friends before meeting Takis, and after their relationship blossomed, it became their shared tradition to spend their summers on Kythira. When Takis proposed, it was a given that their wedding would take place on this beloved island. After the proposal, the couple embarked on a journey to explore Kythira's picturesque villages and significant landmarks, searching for the perfect venue to host their celebration. They were captivated by the island’s virgin beauty and charming spots.

advice for other couples planning a wedding on kythira

As a local wedding planner, my advice to couples considering Kythira for their wedding is to visit the island a year in advance. This allows ample time to explore and select an ideal venue that aligns with their vision, as the island, while breathtaking, is not yet fully developed for weddings. Despite this, Kythira offers unique beaches, incredible food, and numerous hidden gems, providing an unforgettable experience for couples and their guests.
