Our beautiful island
Crete is a beautiful island, but it’s quite large, especially for those with limited time to explore. The three main cities are Heraklion, Chania, and Rethymnon.
We recommend flying into Chania International Airport, as it’s the closest to our wedding location. Chania is one of the most stunning parts of the island, known for its incredible beaches and charming places to visit.
Marilee’s hometown, Kissamos (also known as Kasteli), is a great base offering everything you might need, such as hotels, supermarkets, and restaurants, while being close to some of the best beaches in Crete. We’ve created a hotel list with this in mind, though staying in or visiting Chania is also a wonderful option.




Approximate travel distances
Chania – Kissamos (37km)
Kissamos – Airport (51km)
Kissamos – Wedding Venue (21km)
Chania – Wedding Venue (26km)
Kissamos – Falasarna (14km)
Kissamos – Elafonisi (41km)


Where to stay


It truly means the world to us that you’re travelling to be part of our special day. To help make your stay as smooth and comfortable as possible, we’ve gathered a list of recommended hotels and apartments. Whether you’re looking for something cosy, luxurious, or budget-friendly, we hope these options make planning your trip easy.
The list contains hotels and apartments that we recommend. Some of them are owned by lovely people who have kindly offered special rates for our guests. If you’d like to book one of them, please follow the instructions or give us a call before making a reservation!
One thing to keep in mind is that this list is not exhaustive, and we will be updating it from time to time as we approach the wedding day. A new version notice will be written at the bottom of every page whenever we make any updates, so it’s a good idea to revisit this page for the latest information before making your bookings.
Our recommendation is that, if you are certain about your plans to join us for our wedding, it’s best to book your accommodation and car rental before May, as Chania gets very busy in September.
