Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are planning to elope in Crete and are currently looking for a photographer.
If anyone has recommendations or photographers they’ve personally worked with, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks so much!
(Not sure if itinerary is correct flair)
Hello friends! My fiancé and I are planning our elopement and Greece is currently one of our top choices.
I’ve been to Greece before and absolutely loved it. On my previous trip I visited Athens, Naxos, Paros, Antiparos, and Koufonisia over 11 days. It was an amazing trip, but out of all of them Naxos ended up being my favorite.
I went in early September and the weather was perfect, so we’re thinking of planning this trip for either late August or sometime in September again.
For this trip, we’re planning to legally get married in the US beforehand and then do a symbolic ceremony/private vows in Greece with just the two of us and a photographer.
Right now I’m trying to figure out where would make the best fit for this trip. We definitely want to avoid the super influencer/party-heavy destinations like Santorini and Mykonos. We’re much more interested in beautiful scenery, relaxing atmosphere, good food, beaches, and places that feel romantic without being overly crowded.
A few ideas I’ve been considering:
Corfu + Paxos / Antipaxos
Crete as a base with day trips/boat trips
Possibly a couple nights in Athens since it would be my fiancé’s first time in Greece
For those of you who’ve been to Corfu, Paxos, Antipaxos, or Crete, which would you personally choose for a romantic trip like this? We love beautiful scenery, good food, swimmable beaches, and places that feel a little more relaxed and authentic versus super influencerheavy. We definitely don’t mind moving around a bit either, especially if it’s worth it. These also aren’t our only options, so if there’s another island or region you think would fit what we’re looking for better, I’d love to hear it. Thank you!!!
