The Villa, Up Close
You'll be right in the middle of it all weekend. Here's what to expect.
Three Villas, One Grove
The estate is made up of three villas: Tsunati, Koroneiki, and Agrielia, each named after a fine Cretan olive variety. Each spans 190m² with its own infinity pool, and together they'll be entirely ours for the weekend.
Infinity Pools & a Waterfall Tub
Every villa has its own infinity pool, plus a jetted tub connected by a small waterfall. Minimalist white architecture against silver-green olive leaves: exactly the calm, sun-soaked backdrop we fell for.
Bright, Olive-Grove Views
Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open the villas straight onto the terraces and pools, with the olive grove rolling out beyond. Inside and outside blur together the way they should on a Cretan afternoon.
Your Wednesday
While everyone else arrives Thursday, you're getting an extra evening with us at the villa.
There's no strict program for Wednesday, so arrive whenever suits you. Once you're at the villa, get settled: enjoy the pool, the sea view, the jetted tub, or just relax with us while we finish getting everything ready.
In the evening, we'll keep it simple: a chill evening together at the villa before the rest of the weekend properly kicks off on Thursday. No strict plans, just good company.

The Wedding Day
Since you're staying on-site, you'll be right there for it all.
The Main EventPool Party
An easy, sun-soaked day by the pool to recover, relax, and dance a little more before it's all over.
Farewell
Safe travels home, or stay on and keep exploring beautiful Crete.
Good to Know
WhatsApp group. We'll create a WhatsApp group a bit closer to the date, with everyone staying in the villa, so we can coordinate on food, cars, and anything else.
Getting to the villa. The best way is by car. We'll coordinate directly with you on who's renting a car, so we can group ourselves easily and avoid spending extra money.
The villa itself. You'll have the run of Arbora Olea's pools, sea views, and jetted tub right alongside us all weekend. See above for the full picture.
