Wedding venues in Santorini
Along the caldera, intimate boutique hotels, private villas and terraces carved into the volcanic cliffs offer settings for weddings above the Aegean. Santorini is the rim of a flooded crater, with whitewashed villages and blue-domed churches following its edge and cave houses cut into the rock.
Oia, at the northern tip, faces the sunset across the caldera. Imerovigli, on the highest point of the rim, looks down the whole curve of the crater towards the volcanic islet of Nea Kameni, and Fira holds the island's life. To the south, the black sand beaches of Perissa and Kamari offer a different mood. On Santorini the evening belongs to the caldera, and the light over the water is part of the day.
