Questions about the venue
Can we host our entire wedding party on-site?+
Yes. Charis functions as a hotel, so guest rooms are available on the property alongside ceremony and reception facilities, eliminating the need for guests to find separate accommodations.
What's the closest major airport?+
Thessaloniki International Airport (SKG) is approximately 90km away with roughly 90-120 minutes driving time depending on traffic and road conditions.
What's included in venue rental?+
Contact Charis directly via their website for current packages. Typical hotel-venue offerings include ceremony space, reception areas, tables/chairs, and basic lighting. Catering, photography, and florals are typically booked separately.
Are there outdoor ceremony options?+
Makrinítsa's hillside setting and the property's layout provide outdoor possibilities, though availability depends on season and weather. Confirm specific outdoor spaces when inquiring about your date.
