FAQs
Question
Where should we stay in the area?
Answer
The wedding is in the Vouliagmeni area of Athens along the coast. We have a few hotel suggestions int the travel section. There are all so so many Airbnb's in the area. The local hosts are amazing at making you feel at home and are very responsive about any questions. We highly suggest staying in the Vouliagmeni/ Glyfada area for the wedding. If you'd like to spend a couple days before or after the wedding seeing the historical sites I would stay in the Monastiraki area, as there is more access to public transit and it is walkable to areas like the Parthenon and the ancient Agora.
Question
What should I wear to the wedding?
Answer
The dress code is garden party formal. What does that mean? Its formal but the event is outside and its on the hotter side. Think tea length to floor length dresses in lighter fabrics. Men can wear suits with light dress shirts.

Question
Do I need Euros???
Answer
Restaurants and shops take credit card everywhere! The only place we've needed cash was going on taxis around the smaller islands. It is easy to get euros from ATMs all over the city. Double check with your bank and make sure your cards don't have foreign transaction fees!
Question
What's the best way to get around?
Answer
The public transport system is extensive and easy to use but you can also use the uber app. Taxis also go through the Uber app. Don’t get scammed by hailing one off the street.
