ABOUT
A four-day wedding in Paxoi for Xenia and Pantelis. Ceremony at Panagia Vellianiton, reception at Mongonissi Beach, and four days of celebration across one of the most quietly remarkable islands in the Ionian.
The wedding
Paxoi is a small, peaceful island in the Ionian Sea, just south of Corfu. Olive groves stretch down to the water, and the coastline is dotted with sea caves and fjord-like inlets that most of Greece doesn't know exist. It is the kind of island that couples who choose it tend to feel strongly about.
Xenia and Pantelis chose it well. Preparations took place in private homes across the island. The ceremony was held at Panagia Vellianiton — a 16th-century monastery on the small uninhabited islet of Panagia,which sits across from Gaios harbour and is only accessible by boat. After the ceremony, everyone moved to Mongonissi Beach for the reception, where the celebration lasted much longer than most weddings.
The festivities lasted four days in total, filled with family, friends, and the warm hospitality that makes Greek celebrations so special.
