We love winter weddings, which you already figured from part 1 of our winter wedding guide where we listed some of our top reasons for a winter wedding in Greece, and how we like to do it. In this part 2 of the guide we share some information about the best places in Greece for a winter wedding, and specifically when during the cold season is the best time to plan your celebrations.
Arachova is a small picturesque village in central Greece and one of the most popular winter destinations in the country. It’s a perfect location for a winter wedding in Greece.
Nestled on Mount Parnassos, Arachova is often referred to as the “winter Mykonos” offering a combination of old-world charm & blending tradition and local customs with activities like winter sports, climbing, and ice skating. Couples seeking an ideal area for a wedding party will find it all – tranquillity, shopping, and buzzing nightlife. With amazing cabins, villas and 5 star resorts there is a place for everyone.
If you like snow to be your wedding theme and skiing is your passion, then Arachova is definitely the region for you. Just an easy two-hour drive from Athens you will discover a magical wonderland – the ideal place for your dream winter wedding.
When – the best time for a winter wedding in this bustling mountain resort town would be from Mid-December to March.
The magical region of Zagorohoria lies beyond the Pindus Mountains in north-western Greece – an impressive area of 46 stone villages famous for their gorgeous natural beauty, snow-capped mountains, traditional architecture, and wild landscape.
Those beautiful villages and an abundance of winter sports and other activities such as horse riding, rafting and canyoning, are the perfect setting for a romantic, fairy-tale winter wedding in Greece.
If you love a winter setting but also still wish to have a few sunny days, then Zagorohoria might just be the place for you. If you are the outdoorsy type and would like to combine nature with your wedding vibe and itinerary, Zagorohoria has the best of both worlds and can offer both and more for your winter wedding.
Zagorohoria Can also be an amazing option for a honeymoon destination – visiting the romantic, beautiful settings such as the river Voidomatis, the amazing Vikos Canyon or the traditional stone bridges. Those are all breath-taking locations that are even more enchanting during the winter and you may have snow as a setting for your wedding photos!
When – be the best time to plan your wedding will be between October to December. After that period it is mostly snowing.
Pelion is the magical mountain of Thessaly known for its gorgeous cliff-backed beaches with crystal clear waters that get very busy during the summer.
The region is known for its breath-taking autumn season with amazing colours and wide trees that can serve as the most beautiful backdrop for your wedding.
In the winter however it transforms to one of the most romantic places you have ever seen, sometimes with a mist and fog to add veil of mystery to the landscape of the traditional mansions and cobbled streets that lead you to secluded paths.
Pelion is where the Greeks love to come during the winter months to seek warmth and comfort with family and friends. There are small cosy inns in the villages, little shops with local goodies, teas, ouzo or local homemade jams and treats made from local fruits such as plums, pears, cherries and figs. Doesn’t it sound like a dream setting for a winter wedding?
Pelion may give you the inspiration for a different style of wedding ceremony – you can plan your wedding in one of the village squares which are lush with trees and flowers and have additional snowy landscapes. You also have a ski centre which allows you and your guests to enjoy winter sports.
When – the ideal time to plan a wedding in the region will be the end of October until the end of November. If you are hoping for snow, which is more or less guaranteed, plan for January and February, when the whole peninsula will be covered with snow.
