Nestled in the rugged heart of the Mani Peninsula, Areopoli is a place where time slows down and love feels eternal. With its cobbled alleys, tower houses, and dramatic landscapes, this historic village offers a wedding setting that’s as soulful as it is stunning.
Ceremony with a View
Whether you choose a traditional church in the village ceremony or a symbolic exchange overlooking the sea, Mani’s dramatic coastline offers unforgettable backdrops. Sunset ceremonies are especially magical here—when the sky turns amber and the stone towers glow like ancient sentinels.
Feast Like a Maniatis
No Mani wedding is complete without a feast that honors local flavors. Think slow-roasted lamb, fresh seafood, and golden olive oil from nearby groves. Local wine flows freely, and the music—often live and deeply traditional—invites guests to dance under the stars.
Traditions That Touch the Heart
Mani weddings are rich in custom. From the bridal procession through the village to the symbolic use of olive branches and koufeta (sugar-coated almonds), every detail carries meaning. Many couples choose to incorporate these rituals, adding depth and connection to their celebration.
