For guests who would like to explore Greece before or after the wedding, we are happy to introduce My Greek Basket Travel, a boutique travel design service specializing exclusively in Greece. They put together the overview below to give you an idea of who they are and how they operate.

We do not simply “book travel” — we create thoughtful, personalized Greek experiences. Unlike many travel agencies that sell destinations all over the world, Greece is our sole focus and our true area of expertise. Many of the hotels, restaurants, guides, beaches, villages, and local

experiences we recommend have been personally visited, tested, and hand-selected by us. Our goal is to help each traveler experience Greece in a way that feels authentic, beautiful, well- paced, and tailored to their individual style.

Since the wedding will take place in Chania, Crete, some guests may choose to spend their full stay on Crete, while others may wish to add another destination before or after the celebration. Guests are not limited to the destinations below; however, the places listed here are among the

most natural and logistically convenient options to pair with Chania.

Guests who would like assistance planning their Greece travel to, before, or after the wedding are

welcome to complete our travel form. Based on your preferences, timing, pace, budget, and

travel style, we can recommend the most suitable destinations and design a personalized

experience around you.

Chania is one of Greece’s most atmospheric destinations, known for its Venetian harbor, charming old town, beautiful beaches, mountain villages, traditional tavernas, and exceptional food culture. Crete is large and diverse, so guests who prefer not to island-hop can still enjoy a complete Greek experience by exploring more of the island before or after the wedding.

The easiest island to reach from Chania is Milos, one of the most visually striking islands in the Cyclades. Milos is known for its dramatic volcanic coastline, white rock formations, colorful fishing villages, crystal-clear waters, boat excursions, and unique beaches. It is a wonderful

choice for guests who want a classic island experience with natural beauty and a relaxed atmosphere.

From Milos, Sifnos is a very easy continuation. Sifnos is elegant, charming, and especially known for its food, whitewashed villages, ceramic tradition, scenic churches, and refined but low-key atmosphere. It is ideal for guests looking for a quieter Cycladic island with style, excellent dining, and authentic village life. A favorite with the French.

Paros is one of the most popular and well-rounded Cycladic islands, known for beautiful traditional villages such as Lefkes, Marpissa and Prodromos, beaches, boutiques, seaside dining, and a lively but still relaxed atmosphere. It is a strong choice for first-time visitors who want a polished island experience with more energy, services, and variety. It is also known as a party island if that’s what you are looking for, but not as expensive as Mykonos. Antiparos that is just

a 9-minute ferry ride from Paros and known as a “sleepy island” has been recently gaining popularity for its beautiful beaches, clearest waters and the “get away from it all” vibe.

Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades and a wonderful option for guests who want sandy beaches, traditional villages, excellent local food, ancient sites, and a more spacious, lived-in island feeling. It is especially appealing for families, active travelers, and guests who want both

beach time and cultural exploration.

Most international guests will arrive in and depart from Athens, and the city can be much more

than a transit point. Athens offers ancient landmarks, world-class museums, rooftop dining, vibrant neighborhoods, shopping, and a dynamic modern food scene. Even a short stay can add an important cultural layer to the trip.
