Exploring Greece

The Wedding Website of Maria Varonis and Justin Seeker
Greece is special to us because my family is from here, but there are many reasons to fall in love with our wedding destination. Its civilization brought us mythology, democracy, ceramics and sculpture, religion, philosophy, poetry, and language. In fact, you give me a word, any word, and I'll show you how the root of that word is Greek ;) Greece has an unfaltering culture, especially on the islands, where tradition & temperament still exist today as they did long ago in a lot of ways. We hope to show some of these during our Orthodox ceremony & at the reception through music+dance. Because of the climate, fruits taste...brighter. That's the only way to describe it. You won't regret having a peach on this trip! And okay, Greece is old--the U.S. wishes!! So this means the architecture is seasoned, like a good cast iron. And the salty seawater has cleansing, healing properties. So, we hope you are excited about coming here. Below are suggestions for things to do in Athens & Chios.

Museums in Chios

Cocktail bars in Chios near the port

Oz Cocktail Bar is one of the top cocktail bars of the island with award-winning bartenders in various national and international competitions from Athens to even New York. Plan B is one of the really popular places with great cocktails and foreign music. Sueno is also probably one of the most popular places for Greek Music. We would also recommend Ozbay beach bar, Yoso beach bar, and Komi (you can access by car).
