THE WELCOME
Thursday 22 August, 2024
Please join John and Lia to begin celebrations. Information regarding location, time and dress code will be released soon.
ACCOMODATION
There are so many places to stay in Athens. The beauty of being wedded in this beautiful part of Greece is that the opportunity for accommodation is endless.
For those who haven't visited Greece before or maybe for a few years, this is simply a guide based on our experience. We recommend staying by the Athens Riviera (especially Glyfada and Vouliagmeni) for the duration of our wedding celebrations as you will be close to the wedding venues.
Again, please don't feel confined to these recommendations!
Wedding Gifts
The best gift we can receive is your presence. However, if you wish to honour us with a gift, a contribution to our wishing well would be greatly appreciated.
Love John & Lia xx

24-hour express buses connect Athens International Airport with the port of Piraeus and the Intercity Bus Terminal (KTEL Kifissos). These non-stop services operate daily, including public holidays. All buses drop off passengers at the Departures Level and depart from the Arrivals Level. Bus tickets are sold at the ticket booth outside the Arrivals hall (between Exits 4 and 5), or on board at no extra cost. One way tickets cost €6.
