A Modern Paradise for Every Couple

Rethymno recently celebrated its first same-sex wedding!

Two people from Austria, who had visited and loved Rethymno before, decided it was the perfect place to get married.

With the help of a local wedding planner, their special day took place last Sunday at a seaside venue. Family and friends joined the happy couple. Anna Eleftheriadou, the deputy mayor, officiated the wedding. The couple was also supported by their two close friends, who acted as their best women.

This special event highlights Rethymno as a welcoming and romantic place for all couples who wish to celebrate their love.
