When people think about Athens, there is an image of a unique and captivating city, with a blend of ancient history, and a vibrant modern culture that makes it a firm favourite for couples who want to add that romantic and historical charm to their wedding day. Athens, the capital of Greece and the largest Greek city, is dominated by 5th-century BC landmarks, and was also at the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilization and empire, with many of the historic remains still visible today. For many, Athens is the land of love and home to “cupid”, once known as Eros, the Ancient Greek God of Love, who used his bow and arrow to make people fall head over heels in love: what better city to start your married life in. From lush green hill tops, to ancient Greek chapels, the wedding venues in Athens are all about romance and old-world charm.

As well as dreamy Greek wedding venues, Athens also has many attractions and places of interest to visit.

This ancient citadel contains several historically significant buildings, such as the Erechtheion, the Parthenon, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Athens also boasts one of the largest temples in the ancient world, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, dedicated to Zeus, the king of Olympian gods, although today there are only a few columns remaining, it is still an interesting place where the ancient atmosphere envelops you. Once home to famous philosophers, such as Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle, whose teachings laid the foundation for Western philosophy and science, this city simply oozes a cultural heritage. For a more modern side of Athens, take a trip to the historic neighbourhoods, Plaka and Monastiraki and meander around their charming streets, quaint shops and restaurants while taking in the vibrant atmosphere, mixed together with a taste of both contemporary and ancient Greek culture. This captivating city also offers natural beauty spots, such as their National Garden, located in the centre of Athens that affords a green oasis with diverse fauna and flora, and is a delight to walk around.
