Metohi Istoria

Tucked away in the serene countryside just outside Chania, Metohi Istoria is a rare and atmospheric wedding venue, housed within a beautifully preserved 15th-century Venetian estate. Every stone arch, olive tree, and weathered wall is layered with Cretan history, offering couples a profoundly soulful and unique backdrop that feels more like a story than a commercial venue.

Metohi Istoria specialises in creating celebrations infused with a rustic-chic elegance. The estate features multiple enchanting spaces for your day: exchange vows in the intimate, historic Old Olive Press or beneath the ancient arches of the central courtyard, and host dinner and dancing on the tiered lawns shaded by citrus and avocado trees.

The entire estate is available for exclusive hire, hosting only a handful of weddings each week to guarantee complete privacy and the dedicated attention of the venue's owner and team.

With a capacity to comfortably accommodate up to 200 guests for a grand celebration, Metohi Istoria ensures a deeply personal and authentic Cretan experience. For couples who value a venue rich in history, bathed in a beautiful golden light, and committed to genuine hospitality and a sophisticated, non-traditional atmosphere, this estate is where timeless love stories are written.
