#1 Lycabettus Hill

Its pine forest covered slopes, create the perfect landscape where you can thoroughly enjoy a breath of fresh air. From the upscale neighborhood of Kolonaki, Lycabettus Hill can be reached either by funicular or on foot if you’re one for a steep, yet leisurely upward climb. Once at the top, surrounded by the magnificent view, we’ll make your proposal moment absolutely perfect with everything ready exactly as you envision it. If you’re thinking to propose under the stars, then we know just the spot so that you’ll feel as if you’re floating over an endless sea of city lights! Simply incredible.

#2 Anafiotika

Part of the old historical area of Plaka, Anafiotika is undoubtedly a neighborhood full of character and romanticism.

The entire neighborhood resembles the architecture of the Cycladic islands with white houses and narrow cobbled paths, giving you the feeling of being on an island right at the heart of Athens! Unlike bustling Plaka, Anafiotika is an oasis of tranquility and uniqueness, that bears so much history and offers some great views. This is the place to make your proposal in Athens if you want to be isolated from the whole world!

#3 Philopappos Hill

Located to the southwest of the famous Acropolis rock, Philopappos Hill is one of the most impressive green spots in Athens. Wild and pine-shaded, it is identifiable by the Philopappos Monument crowning its summit and characterized by its colorfulness and serenity. Arriving at the top, you will be rewarded by the inspiring views of the Acropolis, that you can enjoy from various vantage points. Champagne or some local wine can be arranged to celebrate the special moment.

#4 The National Gardens

This magnificent tropical paradise sits in the heart of the concrete city of Athens, directly beside the Greek Parliament. It is a public park with lush vegetation, shaded pathways, benches, pavilions, lakes, ponds, and several small animals. Only a few steps into the National Gardens in Athens allows you to escape the buzz of the city and indulge in relaxation. Home to numerous species of trees and flowers, this is the ideal proposal spot in Athens if you’d like to effortlessly and unexpectedly pop the question and catch your love by surprise!

#5 The Acropolis

The Acropolis is unquestionably one of Greece’s most important and valuable ancient sites. Standing gloriously overlooking the city of Athens, crowned by the impressive Parthenon, this historic rock bears an atmosphere that is nothing short of awe-inspiring. If you want your proposal in Greece to be unforgettable, then kneel before your beloved one, right in front of one of the world’s most iconic monuments, a true wonder of man made creation. Since this is a very popular spot and often flooded with tourists, we know some really great locales around the rock that create a unique and colorful setting with a backdrop of the famous Acropolis so that you can finally ask your long-awaited question within the vibrant energy of the incredible Acropolis beside you.

#6 Cape Sounion

Cape Sounion may not be located in the heart of Athens, but just under 1 hour south of the capital, this seaside spot is absolutely breath-taking and worth the drive across the Athenian Riviera. At its highest point stands the Ancient Temple of Poseidon, god of the sea, which is a feast for the eyes for those passionate about history. Cape Sounion is the ultimate couples getaway spot and you will be mesmerized by the warm colors that engulf the natural landscape as the sun sets.

What to expect in terms of budget

The cost of hosting an event on a yacht in Greece can be a lot more economical than booking a private venue or villa. There is no minimum guest list like at venues or a minimum stay like a villa leading to a lower total estimation. Another point to consider that helps with budget is that not a lot of decor is required as the whole yacht and sailing experience is the highlight. Of course, the sky’s the limit for added extras that align with the theme of your event; we can take care of everything from floral arrangements, balloon decor and furniture settings to themed dessert bars, photo backdrops, and lighting, and at MILILO, we love to bring your vision to life and get creative with every event we design and plan.

What is Art de la Table?

Art de la Table can be described as the art of entertainment, referring to preparing and presenting food. Very simply, it is how to set a table according to the rules of etiquette. According to Jean Francois, a French maître and true master of the art, the most important aspect of Art de la Table is “the architecture of the table and creating harmony”.

How far back does Art de la Table go?

As the name suggests, Art de la Table originated in France, the country of Savoir Vivre, and it goes back to the 15th century, evolving ever since. During the French Revolution, it was briefly lost, however, Napoleon revived the art as he felt that this tradition of etiquette and elegance was also a statement of power.

My finishing school experience in Switzerland

When I was at finishing school, a school that focuses on teaching social graces, we learned all about the Art de la table, how the presentation of the table is as important as the food itself, and what we should take into account when preparing a table. For example, the space between the plates and cutlery is extremely important to the point where a tape measure is required to make sure the place setting is uniform and equidistant.

Also, we learned how to place a name card on the table, as well as how to use decorative elements in the center of the table and make impressive centerpieces. Using candles for the decor is a must-do and fresh flowers are also very important, since, as Jean Francois states “…a proper table should have some sort of living element to represent life as well as give the table a fresh, light air”.

Art de la Table today

In the event planning industry, the main focus of L’Art de la Table is about expressing your creativity, showing your unique personality, and making your guests feel special. Although following the standard rules of etiquette is important, experimenting with different and more modern styles, as well as, mixing and matching items will ultimately create a table that harmoniously reflects your individual taste. Art de la Table is a surefire way to make your event memorable and add a personal touch to your special occasion.

Top 3 things to consider when setting a table:

#1

The colors and patterns used to decorate the table are what draws in your guests’ attention. Make sure to add a splash of white, which always coordinates well with any color scheme, and use gold, silver, or metallic details to beautifully accentuate the main colors and bring a sense of luxury.

#2

The flower decor is the focal point of the table, therefore, it is important to select the right flowers to perfectly fit your theme. One safe, yet extremely elegant and classy choice, is opting for roses, which are available in a range of stunning colors and can complement any color scheme.

#3

When decorating, make sure to use a range of different sized decor pieces to create dimension. Also, playing with the shape of plates and accessorizing with beautifully decorated pieces of cutlery can help you achieve an exceptional banquet effect!

Whether you want to keep your event budget-friendly and decorate with simple and clean touches, or you want to go the extra mile and add luxurious details, like custom design napkins or hand-painted flatware, we will design a most perfect tablescape to reflect your theme, style, and color scheme.
