It’s important to us that you don’t just come to Edessa for the celebration, but also get to enjoy the trip a little. For many, this might be a corner of Greece you wouldn’t normally visit – all the better if you take the opportunity to discover something new and add a few relaxing days to your stay.
Below, we’ve put together a selection of beautiful places and excursion ideas – from small highlights around Edessa to destinations that are perfect for a seaside holiday afterwards.
That way, our wedding becomes not just a celebration, but also a little vacation.
Nature
Some of the most historic places on earth lie around Edessa – places where Alexander the Great was born, crowned, and went to school. Most of them can be reached by car in under two hours and are perfect for half-day or full-day excursions.
History
Hot springs hidden in the forest, turquoise waterfalls, stone mountain villages, soaring rock formations, and quiet lakes with pelicans – around Edessa you’ll find experiences that don’t appear in every travel guide. For those seeking something authentic, this region is a quiet discovery.
Vacation
Just a few hours from Edessa begins the blue of the Aegean Sea. Wide beaches, hidden coves, and water so clear you can see all the way to the bottom. We’ve often been to Chalkidiki and the surrounding islands, and every time, that first sea breeze feels like the beginning of summer.
