It depends on where you're coming from, but we suggest picking a major city to fly into first before you get to Crete. We're flying into Athens and staying a couple days there first before flying into Heraklion. You can also pick Heraklion as your final destination if you don't want to fly somewhere else first, but you might have a longer travel day.
We suggest flying into Crete by Saturday. This will give you a day to explore the island before our wedding on Monday. You'll also be able to attend the welcome drinks event stress free! Depending on when you're flying to Europe, arriving a day or two early will allow you time to acclimate as well.
We highly recommend exploring Crete for as long as possible! The island is one of the best to visit due to its diverse and vibrant landscape, ancient ruins, cities, and breathtaking beaches. After exploring Crete, you can always take a ferry or short flight to another Greek island. We will be going to a few of them a couple days after the wedding. The most popular islands to visit are Santorini and Mykonos, but there are many other less touristy islands in the Cyclades that you can travel to.
We are staying at the LUX ME Grecotel White Palace hotel until June 21. This is an all-inclusive resort with a 3-night minimum stay.
Yes! We will be hosting a welcome event the night before the wedding and a farewell brunch the day after. For the welcome event, there will be cocktails as well as small bites. More information on the exact location and attire at both events can be found under the schedule tab.
Both the welcome event and the wedding are cocktail attire. The farewell brunch will be hangover-chic.
Yes, there will be a shuttle that will take you to and from the venue. The shuttle will pick you up from the LUX ME Grecotel White Palace hotel and will drop you off at Agreco Farms. There will also be transportation back to the hotel towards the end of the night.
