F. A. Q.

Is a Catholic Marriage possible?

A church marriage is theoretically possible, but you must be registered as a resident of Greece. There are several Catholic churches on the island of Santorini, but for the past few years, the local Bishop has been against religious marriages for foreigners, since Santorini is one of the most popular wedding destinations in the world, the Bishop does not want the Catholic Church to turn into a commercial building. From our experience, we organized a wedding for a couple who even appealed to the Pope (sent a letter), but the Pope supports the position of the Bishop of Santorini and recommends a religious marriage at Your  birth  country, not on the island of Santorini.
