The beauty of Santorini’s sunset is one of the main reasons why so many destination weddings take place on the island. Santorini weddings are a must, and couples from all over the world come to organise their wedding in Greece. Can you imagine how magnificent would be to get married with the stunning view of the caldera and the sun sinking into the sea? Is there a more beautiful frame for your wedding photos? Every wedding planner in Santorini will say that the best spots for a wedding in Santorini are these that offer you breathtaking view.

But where are these great places, where you feel the magic of the gold Greek sunlight mirroring at the calm waters and brightening the volcanic cliffs and the picturesque settlements?

Oia

Oia, the wonderful village with the view of the whole caldera, is the best spot for your Santorini wedding. The white small houses of Oia are the most characteristic feature of the village, and the orange reflection of the sunset creates a breathtaking and elegant setting. Most weddings in Santorini take place in Oia, in a balcony of a hotel or a restaurant at the edge of the cliff above the volcano.

Imerovigli

If you seek a calmer and more private place than the sometimes overcrowded Oia, you can organise your Greek wedding in the village of Imerovigli, in the middle of the distance between Fira and Oia. In Imerovigli, you catch the sunset at the highest point of caldera, at 300 meters above sea level. This is why you can enjoy an impressive view. The sun sets directly front and centre, behind the island of Thirassia on the opposite site.

Fira and Firostefani

Fira, the capital of the island, is of course an excellent choice for your wedding in Santorini during the sunset, but if you want a quieter spot away from the crowds, Firostefani, the small traditional village in a close distance to Fira, is also very romantic place.

Vineyard

A great vendor for your ceremony and reception is a vineyard, where you can taste the famous wine of Santorini and get married in a natural setting. The sunset gives the vineyard a pink colour, and you will have fun and romantic moments surrounded by vineries.

Wherever you choose to organise your wedding in Santorini, be prepared to have a once in a lifetime experience. Your guests will be impressed, and you will express your love and commitment to your partner in a truly gorgeous scenery. Is there something better for the starting point of your new life?
