invite you to celebrate our wedding

A Week in Cyprus

Rather than celebrating for just one day, we’re planning a week of events for everyone who is able to join us.

Attendance at every event is completely optional. Come to as much or as little as you’d like. Our goal is simply to spend quality time with everyone before the wedding, and to show you around Cyprus.

RSVP

Kindly reply by [placeholder date]. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in the mountains.

Farewell

We’ll gather for pites, traditionally made by Cypriots the day after the wedding.

We know many of you will need to head out on Sunday, but if you have time, we’d recommend staying for this!

Planning Your Trip

We know that traveling to Cyprus is a bigger trip than many weddings, so we want to make planning as easy as possible. Below are a few things to know as you begin planning your trip.

Getting to Cyprus

We recommend flying into Larnaca International Airport (LCA), which will be the most convenient airport for our wedding events.

If you’re traveling from the United States, you’ll typically have one stop in a major European hub before continuing to Cyprus. Common connections include cities such as London, Zurich, Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, and Athens.

Another great option is to book separate flights: a round-trip ticket to a European city you’d like to visit, plus a separate round-trip ticket between that city and Cyprus. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to add another destination to your trip, this can be a great way to turn the wedding into a longer European vacation.

Accommodations

We have reserved several Airbnbs and hotel blocks to keep everyone together in convenient locations. Once the RSVP deadline passes, we’ll reach out with your room details, including prices.

Getting Around

Outside of the wedding day, we expect taxis to be the easiest way to get around. Rental cars are also a great option if you’d like to explore more of the island before or after the wedding.

For those planning to rent a car, we recommend [Rental Car Company]. A few things to know before driving in Cyprus:

  • Traffic drives on the left-hand side of the road.
  • Rental cars have the steering wheel on the right-hand side.
  • Most major roads are modern and easy to navigate.
  • Google Maps works well throughout the island.

We’ll provide transportation to and from the wedding reception so everyone can enjoy the celebration without worrying about getting home safely.

Weather

August is beautiful in Cyprus, but temperatures vary depending on where you are.

Beach

Expect hot, sunny weather perfect for swimming and spending time outdoors. Lightweight clothing and sunscreen are highly recommended.

Kyperounta

Although the days are still warm, Kyperounta sits in the mountains, so evenings are noticeably cooler than on the coast. We recommend packing a light sweater or jacket for dinners and late-night celebrations.

What to Pack

A few things we recommend bringing:

  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Swimsuit
  • Sunglasses and sunscreen
  • Lightweight summer clothing
  • A light sweater or jacket for evenings in Kyperounta
  • Your dancing shoes

Q&A

A few things you might be wondering.

Where is the wedding?

Alamata and the ceremony will be in Karvounas, and the wedding will be at Oenou Yi Winery in Omodos. We’ll provide transportation to and from the reception.

What should I wear to the wedding?

Summer formal. Suits are recommended, and linen is great. Long dresses, please.

Do I need to come to every event?

Not at all. Attendance at every event is completely optional. Come to as much or as little as you’d like.

Are children welcome?

If they’re on your invitation, they’re invited.

Is there a gift registry?

We don’t have a gift registry. Having you there is more than enough.

About Cyprus

A few things worth knowing if it’s your first time in Cyprus.

The Troodos

Kyperounta sits high in the Troodos Mountains, where pine forests cover the slopes and it’s noticeably cooler than on the coast. Our wedding is nearby in Omodos, a wine village. With a free morning, try an easy walk among the pines or visit one of the UNESCO-listed painted churches.

Eating & Drinking

Order meze at a taverna: a long parade of small shared dishes that keeps coming, so pace yourself. Halloumi is everywhere, grilled or fried and often served with watermelon in summer. Try Commandaria, a sweet dessert wine from the Troodos foothills and one of the oldest named wines in the world.

Good to Know

Cyprus uses the euro. Cards are widely accepted, but carry some cash for villages and small shops. Outlets are the UK-style three-pin type, so bring an adapter. English is widely spoken. Tipping isn’t expected at restaurants, but 10% is a nice gesture if you’d like to.

Beyond the Mountains

Extending your trip? Limassol has a seafront and old town, Paphos has ancient mosaics and beaches, and Larnaca has a beach promenade near the airport. Nicosia (Lefkosia), the capital, has a walled old town and plenty of cafés. Ayia Napa and Protaras are known for their sandy beaches.

A Little Greek

Most people in Cyprus speak English, but a few words of Greek are always appreciated.
