Check out the full gallery for all the lovely moments that we just can’t seem to get over!

From Kostis Mouselimis… For Matina and Lambros, a proposal on the beach, a bonfire, dipping in the crystal waters, and spending the night singing was the ultimate engagement experience in Greece, in one of Aegean’s finest destinations. Kea is definitely rising to be one of the most upbeat and romantic destinations in the Aegean for couples, and we can see why this is the place Lambros chose to pop the question and ask Matina to marry him!

Why did he choose the island of Kea? Kea is a jet-set destination, as well as a fashionable choice for couples that want a unique location for some days off or celebrating a big milestone like a proposal. It is only an hour’s ferry ride from Lavrio, just outside Athens. This Cycladic island has everything a couple may need for a memorable experience in Greece. For us, nothing comes close to the romance of a night spent on the beach and asking your better half to share your lives. Surrounded by sand, salt, and million stars, a beach bonfire will warm the hearts, perfect for a proposal and a quiet romantic dinner. Matina and Lambros seemed so happy and content with each other, leaving everything behind and getting caught up in the moment. Popping the question under the starlit sky is oozing with romance and experiencing the greek beaches by night holds another level of beauty, not to mention tranquility and intimacy.

We love designing experiences for couples drenched in greek charm and the unique feeling of the Aegean. There’s something magical about watching the greek sunset by the flickering warmth of a beach bonfire, backed by the sound of crashing waves and waking up to the sounds of summer. Matina was thrilled Lambros chose such a creative way to ask her to be his wife! After a day spent in the sun and living the authentic island life, nothing compares with the romance of a bonfire proposal and a dip in the crystal waters of the Aegean while wishing on shooting stars. It’s an experience all couples should seek!
