The airport to fly into is Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" (ATH).

You may need a visa depending on your nationality. Greece is part of the Schengen Zone, which means:

Visas are required if you’re traveling from a country that does not have a visa-free agreement with Greece. You’ll need to apply for a Schengen Visa before your trip. This includes guests with a Lebanese, Kuwaiti, Jordanian, Saudi, Egyptian passport, and more.

No visa required for stays up to 90 days if you're traveling from the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and most European and Schengen-associated countries. Just bring your passport, and you’re good to go!

Please double check if you need a visa! We highly recommend getting this done as soon as possible to ensure you get your visa on time.

Below are a couple of hotels that we have special rates at. There are lots of hotels & Airbnbs in Athens, so feel free to look for other accommodations that suit you best.

Although the wedding is in Spata, we encourage our guests to stay either in the Glyfada area, Athens Riveria area, or the Vouliagmeni area as our welcome party will be close to those areas.

Please note that there are no hotels around our venue as it is on a winery in a secluded area, so we'll have our shuttles to the events pick up and drop off from Grand Resort Lagonissi at specific times.

Recommendation: If you aren't staying at Grand Resort Lagonissi or in a neighboring hotel/aribnb, it's likely more convenient and efficient for you to arrange your own taxi instead of taking the shuttle to and from Grand Resort Lagonissi.

Please check back for the shuttle timings soon!
