Where better than the island of Aphrodite for the perfect destination wedding or honeymoon?
The goddess of love made Cyprus her home for good reason... The island blessed with year-round sunshine, golden beaches, clear skies and a selection of the most luxurious resorts in Europe.
Why go?
Cyprus is just a four-hour flight from the UK, so it would be easy peasy for your friends and family to join you if you wanted to get married there, and offers a gorgeous climate and idyllic scenery for your wedding or honeymoon. In addition to resorts, many outdoor beauty spots are authorized for blessing ceremonies. For example, you could be blessed at the spot where Aphrodite emerged out of the Mediterranean Sea or at the beauty spots where she enjoyed trysts with Adonis. Cyprus is great fun and great value - it’s less expensive than the UK to get out and about and to eat...
Who goes?
Celebrity visitors to Cyprus include: Catherine Zeta Jones, Cat Deeley and Denise van Outen.
We recommend
Cyprus’ most luxurious resorts are experienced in ensuring that couples get married without a hitch, and the choice is extensive. The Four Seasons in Limassol and the Palm Beach in Larnaca have both recently unveiled their new chapel giving couples yet more exquisite surroundings for their big day. Organised couples now get a chance to get a taste of their wedding at the Columbia Beach Resort with the new ‘Try Before You Buy’ package. Couples can stay for three days at the Columbia prior to a booking to familiarise themselves with the hotel and fine-tune all the arrangements for their dream day. Aphrodite Hills, situated just a stone’s throw from Aphrodite Rock, can arrange for couples to plant an olive tree at the property symbolising their growing love, which they can return to visit year after year.
The variety of venues and options does not compromise exclusivity either – a limited number of priests on the Island conduct visitor marriage ceremonies, and early reservations are advised. In addition to mainstream operators such as TUI, Thomas Cook and First Choice, Cypriot specialists such as Libra, Argo, Amathis, Cyplon, Alpha, Planet and Olympic Holidays all offer wedding programmes, and can ensure that the priest’s precious time is reserved for the big day!
