By air
Athens International (ATH) has direct flights from most of Europe — about 3.5 hours from London, 3 from Paris and 2 from Rome.
The airport is a 35 minute drive from the Athens Riviera. We can arrange a transfer — just ask.

Getting to Athens
Flights, transfers, places to stay and a few things worth doing while you are in the city. Anything we have missed — ask us in your RSVP note.
Getting there
Arriving in Athens
Athens is one of the easiest cities in Europe to reach, and both of our venues sit on the coast about half an hour south of the centre.
From the centre
Metro Line 3 runs from the airport to Syntagma in about 40 minutes, and the coastal tram continues south towards Vouliagmeni and Kavouri.
Use the metro and tram where you can, and book a car through Uber or FreeNow for the rest — traffic along the coast builds in the evening, so leave a little extra time.
Getting around
The wedding ceremony, dinner and dancing all happen on the Private House Island Resort estate, so on the day itself you only need to get to one place.
We are running a shuttle back to the hotels in Kavouri and Vouliagmeni at the end of the night.
Getting around safely
Please book your rides through Uber or the Greek app FreeNow rather than hailing a taxi on the street. Both show the fare up front, track your journey and are the safest, most reliable way to travel around Athens — and you will not be overcharged.

While you are here
Four things worth your time
Athens rewards a slow pace — a morning in the old city and an afternoon by the sea is a perfect day. Leave time for at least one of these.
The Acropolis and Plaka
Walk up to the Parthenon early, then lose an afternoon in the tavernas and marble lanes of Plaka below it.
Swim off the Riviera
The beaches at Vouliagmeni and Kavouri are minutes from the venue — the warm, clear water is the very reason we chose this coast.
Cape Sounion at sunset
Drive an hour south to the Temple of Poseidon, where the columns stand above the sea and the light turns to gold.
Eat like an Athenian
Grilled fish by the water in Piraeus, souvlaki in the centre, and a long evening of mezédes and retsina — this is a city that takes dinner seriously.
