Can I bring a plus-one to the wedding?
We appreciate your enthusiasm for our special day! However, due to limited space and to ensure an intimate celebration, we kindly request that only invited guests attend the wedding. We hope you understand our decision and look forward to celebrating with you personally.
Is there anything required for travel to Greece?
An up-to-date passport will be required in order to enter Greece. Please check your passports and make sure they are valid for six months before the trip!

We have plans to do a casual celebration in the states after the wedding for those who are unable to attend! We will keep you updated.
Can I travel to other Greek islands from Evia?
If you are looking to travel to the southern islands, such as Mykonos, Santorini, etc., you will not be able to access those islands from Evia. If you are interested in traveling to those islands before or after the wedding, we suggest flying out of Athens Intl. Airport or taking the ferry from any of the three Athens based ports!
However, there are some minor outlying islands that are accessible through Evia! These include Alonissos, Skiathos, Skopelos, and Skyros.
