Close your eyes and imagine you’re on a balcony in the Cyclades. The sea stretches out before you, the sun is setting, and another island shimmers on the horizon. Now open your eyes – and let’s experience that exact same thing, that exact same feeling, right here in Attica. Unbelievable? It’s true.
Ploes Floating Venue is the only floating event space in Greece, and it’s just a few minutes from your home.
Our tour begins on the upper deck, where couples welcome their guests for a refreshing welcome drink, with an unobstructed view of the sea and a gentle breeze accompanying the first moments of the evening. Walk with us now along the wooden deck and imagine the space filled with people gathered to celebrate love. Smiles, champagne, soft music, sunset photos, emotion, and wishes for the newlyweds.
Now let’s head down the Instagrammable staircase, the perfect spot for nighttime wedding shots, and step into the dinner hall. A luxurious space with a capacity of 350 seated guests on the main deck during the summer months (and up to 500 if both levels are used), it can be configured to suit the concept of each wedding, ready to host the beginning of your “together.” Here, a minimal aesthetic combined with elegant details blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The movement of the water, the sound of the waves, and the summer vibes create a setting that makes guests feel part of a one-of-a-kind experience, not just another wedding.
Magical sunsets
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the beloved photographers at Yes I Do, with whom I’ve worked all these years, it’s that light plays a starring role at a wedding, and at Ploes, the sunset is a true revelation. During the golden hour, the light grows warmer, embracing faces and creating a natural glow that no filter can replicate. As sunset approaches, the setting becomes truly magical. The sky fills with shades of gold, pink, and orange, while the sea acts as a mirror for this palette. And when the sun finally sets, the cooler tones lend a more elegant dimension to the evening. At Ploes, light isn’t just a backdrop, it’s part of the overall narrative of the wedding.
Floating vibes
And if you think you need to travel to see the most beautiful sunsets, you’re wrong. Even though I was just 10 minutes from the center of Athens, I felt the air was completely different, the atmosphere more carefree, the sun shining differently, the way it only does when it embraces landscapes like this. If you’re getting married this year, I want you to book a visit to Ploes Floating Venue. Because, unfortunately, no matter how much I write about it today, you’ll have to experience it first to truly take it in with all your senses.
