Where we met
A wobbly café table in Naoussa, two freddo espressos, and one umbrella we both reached for.

Welcome
Kalós Írthate
Every summer the meltemi blows across the Aegean, warm and steady, and every summer it has carried us back to this island.
This time we'd love it to bring you too: for whitewashed lanes and bougainvillea, a chapel above the sea, a long table by the water, and dancing until the moon is up.

Our Story
Island Hopping
Swipe to follow the ferry.
2020
The first trip
A rented scooter, a wrong turn, and an olive grove we still can't find on any map.
2022
Our first home
A tiny flat with a blue door, a key that sticks, and far too many plants.
2023
Our family grew
Fig, a harbour cat who adopted us and has never once apologised.
2026
The proposal
By the lighthouse at sunset. Tom forgot his speech; Eleni said yes anyway.
2027
And now…
A little white chapel above the sea, and all of you.

- The lanes are cobbled and the chapel path is steep. Flats or block heels.
- The ceremony is in full sun. Bring sunglasses; we'll bring fans.
