Ios Wedding Welcome: Sun-dappled & Unscripted at Alma Suites

The traditional pre-wedding welcome is dead—or at least, it deserves to be. For Amy and Tom’s Ios Island takeover, rigid cocktail hours and predictable elevator bossa were soundly rejected in favor of pure hydro-hedonism. The weekend initiated at Alma Sunset Suites with sun-soaked, languid afternoons where competitive beer pong coexisted with panoramic Aegean views and spontaneous group dives. As the Cycladic sun dipped, the narrative shifted to the narrow chora veins of Katogi Tapas Bar. Trading multi-course protocol for a late-night pulse and curated bites, they effortlessly plunged their guests into true island mode—the ultimate high-vibe palate cleanser before the main event at the Cycladic Gem.
