4 Reasons Why Kythira is a Perfect Choice for a Destination Wedding
Greece offers countless breathtaking locations that can serve as the ideal background for a dreamlike wedding. One such location, an under-the-radar choice compared to the hustle and bustle of Santorini or the windswept Cycladic chapels, is the island of Kythira.
But it is exactly the down-to-earth quality of Kythira that make this gem of an island such a fine backdrop for a celebration of love. Plus, the fact that a mythical symbol of love and beauty was born there…
If you are thinking about whether a wedding at Kythira will be a good choice for you or you want to discover what makes this island perfect for a destination wedding, keep reading! Here are the four main reasons why Kythira provide the perfect wedding scenery:
#1: Kythira is the birthplace of Aphrodite!
According to myths and legends, the goddess of love and beauty was born off the coast of Kythira. Aphrodite then rose from the foam of the sea in the area of Palaiopolis, where heart-shaped rocks can still be found to this day. As far as romantic myths go, few can compete with that one! Still, the island possesses an ethereal aura of romance that attracts many couples every year. Not to mention that it has inspired poets, painters and musicians throughout the centuries.
#2: Kythira offers plenty of wedding locations to choose from!
As opposed to other Greek islands, where the points of interest are usually located in one spot or the Chora, Kythira has a plethora of picturesque villages, each of them with its own secrets, charm and traditional chapels. From the seaside wonder of Avlemonas to the Venetian heritage of Mylopotamos, there is an array of options at your disposal.
#3: Kythira’s many sights are made for exquisite wedding photos!
Do you want your wedding album to look straight out of a fairytale? Kythira’s castles can make your dream come true! Are you a nature lover and want a dramatic sunset to paint the sky as you say “I do!”? Then, we can suggest chapels on mountains that overlook the sea! Have you pictured a seaside ceremony? It’s only a matter of deciding which one to choose from! All these may sound far-fetched but are true: the topography of Kythira is so varied that finding the perfect spot only requires the help of a wedding planner that knows this land and can match your needs with the right location.
