We're getting married! - I know, it's about time, right?

Aresti Piano Bar is a hillside Mediterranean venue known for its panoramic views

for a night you want to remember.
What to expect:
Spectacular sunset views over the Ionian Sea
Live piano and ambient music throughout the evening
Curated Greek wine list and cocktail menu
Terrace dining surrounded by olive trees and candlelight
Group transport provided — no need to worry about getting there
Location
Zakynthos, Greece
Zakynthos (or Zante) is one of Greece’s most enchanting Ionian islands—where turquoise
waters meet lush green hillsides and lively coastal villages.
The island offers a mix of natural beauty, charming culture, and warm hospitality
that makes it an idyllic destination for a wedding and summer getaway.
Explore the island:
• Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach – one of Greece’s most iconic spots, with
white cliffs and crystal-clear waters.
• Blue Caves – reachable by boat, these dazzling caves reflect the sea’s pure azure color.
• Keri Lighthouse – a stunning viewpoint for sunsets over the Ionian Sea.
• Bochali Hill – a small hilltop village above Zakynthos Town with beautiful views
and quiet cafés.
• Turtle spotting – Zakynthos is home to the endangered Caretta caretta sea turtles,
often seen nesting in the area around Laganas Bay.
Things to do:
Spend your days swimming in coves around Tsilivi or Alykes,
take a boat trip to hidden beaches, or stroll through Zakynthos Town for local wine,
handmade ceramics, and easy-going tavernas. Evenings are best enjoyed with local
seafood and a glass of chilled white wine under the stars.
