    What Is a Civil Wedding?

    Legal Marriage, Magical Setting

    A civil wedding (πολιτικός γάμος) in Greece is a legally binding ceremony conducted before a Mayor or authorized official. It is fully recognized in the UK, USA, Australia, and most countries worldwide.

    In Skopelos, the civil ceremony takes place at the Skopelos Town Hall. Your reception then follows at our exclusive venues — Castello or Vrachos.
