Crete Wedding Venues

Crete offers the perfect blend of ancient history, diverse landscapes, and authentic Greek culture. As Greece's largest island, it provides everything from Venetian harbors and traditional mountain villages to luxury beach resorts and ancient Minoan sites, making it ideal for couples seeking cultural depth and natural beauty.

Crete has a longer wedding season than other Greek islands, from April to November. The shoulder seasons (April-May and September-November) offer excellent weather, fewer tourists, and better pricing. Summer months provide guaranteed sunshine but can be quite warm and crowded.

Crete generally offers better value than Santorini or Mykonos, with wedding packages typically ranging from €12,000-€35,000. The island provides excellent quality-to-price ratio with larger venues, longer celebration times, and more comprehensive packages including authentic Greek entertainment and traditional cuisine.

Crete has two international airports (Heraklion and Chania) with direct flights from major European cities. The island also has regular ferry connections from Athens. Car rentals are recommended for exploring, and most venues can arrange transportation for wedding guests between accommodations and ceremony locations.
