Marriage Requirements

A passport or other traveling document, along with birth certificate copies, single status forms, and marriage license applications are required. Notice of your Greece wedding must also be published in one local newspaper eight days prior to the ceremony. Divorce and death decrees are also required if applicable. Check with your Certified Destination Wedding Specialist for more details.

Travel Information

Travel Documents

Destination weddings in Santorini require visitors outside of Europe to have a passport. If you are a citizen of the US, visit travel.state.gov for more information on travel documents needed. For Canadian travelers, visit travel.gc.ca for relevant travel information.

Language

The official language of Greece is Greek, though many tourist operators and hospitality workers speak English.

Currency and Tipping

The official currency of Greece is the euro.

Climate & Beaches

Climate

Greece has a Mediterranean climate with generally mild winters and hot summers. Rainfall usually occurs between the months of October and April.

Beaches

Beaches in Santorini are some of the most striking (and unusual) in Europe. With sand color ranging from red to black to white, a variety of rock formations, and deep blue waters, they are one-of-a-kind. Beaches in northern Oia are not easily spotted off the main road but have a wild, untamed beauty. Perissa Beach has many cafes lining its shores, and Eros Beach has fine, black sand.

Activities & Attractions

Activities

The open air cinema in Kamari plays movies high in the hills with breathtaking views and unparalleled ambiance. The hike from Fire to Oia takes a couple of hours to complete, but provides guaranteed show-stopping views of the Aegean Sea. If you’re interested in music and history, La Ponta is a Venetian tower where Greek percussionists and flutists perform on the towering terrace. Santorini is also home to a number of vineyards and beautiful seaside restaurants, so foodies will have plenty to enjoy.

Nightlife

Enjoy the view

The image of startlingly-blue dome towers capping stark-white villages high above the sea is one of Greece’s most iconic. And, even more photo-worthy is the view once you get up here for your Santorini wedding. The Aegean Sea is visible for miles, as are the surrounding hills and mountains. A wedding in Santorini is filled with opportunities for exploring, whether you want to wander through ancient monasteries carved into cliffs or shop for precious gems at colorful town markets.
