Athens International Airport. If you are taking a connecting flight, we suggest arriving at least 2 days prior to the wedding. If you are taking a direct (nonstop) flight, arriving 1 day before the wedding should be okay.
For the hotels, the sooner the better! For flights, it varies. "Hopper" is a great app to download that will send you push notifications on the best time to book your flight. Please see "Travel" section for more details on hotels.
If you book a connecting flight, it would be wise to make sure your layover is at least 2 hours (just incase there is a flight delay).
Absolutely! Please be sure to include them in the RSVP.
A shuttle will be provided to and from the 3 hotels that we suggested (see "Travel" section on this website). If you stay somewhere besides those 3 hotels, a taxi is your best option. As per the venue, there should be no issues getting a taxi after the wedding. If you decide to rent a car, there will be valet parking at the venue.
The wedding venue, and the 3 recommended hotels, are approximately 45 minues away from the center of Athens.
Taxis are easy to find in Athens and they are cheap. You can download the app called "BEAT" (this is like Uber) on your Android or iPhone in order to find taxis conveniently from wherever you are. You can pay through the app or with cash. Uber also works in Athens! You can also simply ask your hotel to call a taxi for you.

Reservations are not necessary for most restaurants in Athens, a city known for casual tavernas and outstanding street food. Most restaurants here don’t take reservations. However, for fine dining or for dining with a view at the best rooftop restaurants and bars, it’s a good idea to reserve a table in advance.
Tipping is customary in Greece, but it is not percentage-based as it is in the U.S. It is customary to tip about €2 to €5 for a meal, maybe more in an expensive restaurant.
