We recommend booking your plane tickets as soon as possible to ensure that you will be getting the best price for traveling. We have been consistently monitoring the ticket prices and they are currently at their lowest point, we do not expect them to be dropping in price much more - but please feel free to book at your earliest/best convenience!
We will personally be renting a car for our stay - and we know other guests will be as well. We highly recommend this in case you want to explore the island on your own! We HIGHLY recommend that whoever will be renting/driving the car obtains an international driving license. During our travels to Europe last year this was crucial and important for us to have incase any law enforcement officials ask. Here is a link to the international driving license website: https://www.aaa.com/vacation/idpf.html Other options: If you are not planning on renting a car, there of many options for tax services to get you to and from your desired destination. There is also an app that can easily be downloaded that is equivalent to Uber, but used in Europe -- it is called BOLT
The wedding will be held on Wednesday June 4, 2025 at Villa Mantilari. We will be providing more details with regards to time as we coordinate with our wedding planner and get closer to the date!
No, we completely understand if you would like to make your own plans while on the island - but please respond to all events listed in the RSVP so that we can get a final headcount to send to our wedding planner!
We do not have any dress code for the wedding, feel free to wear whatever you like!
You should fly into Heraklion International Airport (HER) -- this is about 25 minutes away from our villa/wedding location. For those not staying in the main villa please plan accordingly to see how far the airport is from your hotel/accommodation.
