As the wedding venue of St Paul's, Lindos becomes exponentially more popular, discerning couples, in their search for a sophisticated and exclusive alternative, are choosing to be married at less publicised venues. The village of Lindos is also home to the wedding location venues of St George and St Dimitris, however, a short journey away, by road or sea, lie the venues of Kallithea Springs & Spa and the small monastery of St Sophia both of which offer exclusivity, charm and sophistication - a winning combination for a truly memorable occasion.
Kallithea Springs & Spa
The waters feeding into the bay of Kallithea have long been known for their therapeutic properties hence it was an obvious choice for the Italians, in 1928, during their occupation of Rhodes, to construct the Thermal Spa in Kallithea. The Italians enrolled the talents of the renowned architect Pietro Lombadi to design and oversee the task and, indeed, these architectural designs are considered to be amongst the best of this period.
Housing a plethora of arches and domes, columns and detailed cobbled pathways civil weddings at Kallithea Springs & Spa are now held in the prestigious Rotonda' where the statute of Eros, the Roman god of love, resides.
The natural beauty of the location provides a magnificent setting for wedding photographs and the quayside, whilst providing the departure point for a celebration cruise, also has a refreshment zone - perfect for post-ceremony champers as the newlyweds savour the novelty of their union.
St Sophia
Built on a hill top and commanding breathtaking views of the azure blue Aegean, St Sophia is a petite white-washed chapel oozing elegant simplicity. The secluded positioning of this wedding venue guarantees the intimacy of the celebration - close to the cosmopolitan heart of the island but far from the public eye.
Symi Island
This small island, somewhat forgotten in the backwaters of the Aegean, must be the ultimate location for a couple requiring a cloistered wedding venue. The even-smaller adjacent island of St Marina, quite uninhabited, is home to the chapel of the same name and is accessible only by boat. For couples close to nature and who truly value the qualities of simplicity and natural beauty, Symi and its attributes are an obvious choice.
