Aravanes Taverna

Sitting at the foothills of Mount Ida (Psiloritis), 32km south-east of Rethymnon and overlooking the panoramic Amari Valley, Aravanes Taverna & Rooms is situated in the small village of Thronos that counts less than 40 inhabitants. And it is within this area of breathtaking natural beauty and genuine hospitality that you may choose to start married life.

For your ceremony to take place at Aravanes Taverna you will need to book 5 of the 6 rooms on-site for at least one night (a supplement will apply if you require 'exclusive use' of the taverna). Recenty renovated and offering a range of modern facilities, the rooms accommodate from 2 to 4 persons and there’s also an outdoor swimming pool.

Your ceremony can take place on the paved terrace with amazing views of the valley - such a serene spot also perfect for your reception.

• No more than one wedding per day •
  

Cocktail Parties & Wedding Receptions
