The Setting: Vlychada Beach’s Unique Charm

Vlychada Beach is a quieter, more dramatic alternative to Santorini’s busy caldera areas. Its lunar landscape—dark sands, surreal rock formations—gives a sense of stepping onto a different planet. This setting makes the proposal appear even more extraordinary, especially during sunset, when the sky’s colors shift from gold to deep pink.

Since the setup is arranged to be completely in harmony with nature, it avoids overly processed or flashy decorations. Instead, the focus remains on romance and natural beauty—a fitting choice for couples who want authenticity with their special moment. The beach is accessible by a short walk from the only beach bar, which is easy to find, and the team will wait just beyond this point.

What the Package Includes

The core of the experience is a one-hour setup featuring a heart-shaped arch of red roses and a neon sign that reads “WILL YOU BE MY FOREVER?” for that perfect photo moment. LED candles and rose petals enhance the romantic atmosphere, while red roses on the sand add a natural, spontaneous feel.

Photographs and a video are included—20 photos and one video from an iPhone—sent to you on the same day. This means you’ll get a quick, professional record of your proposal, perfect for sharing with friends and family or for your own keepsakes. You can also opt for music on a speaker during the proposal, which adds to the ambiance, and an eye mask if you want a surprise element or emphasize the moment of “yes.”

The Experience: How It Unfolds

On the day of your proposal, you arrive at the designated meeting point at Vlychada Beach. The team will be waiting for you near the beach bar; from there, you walk about five minutes to the setup. The entire process is designed to be seamless: you can arrive a few minutes early to avoid missing the moment, and once you walk toward the heart arch, the team will appear to capture the scene discreetly.

The setup itself lasts for about an hour, giving you time to get comfortable, take some photos, and savor the moment. After the “YES,” you’re free to enjoy the sunset as a backdrop—something many couples find truly magical. The entire activity concludes back at the meeting point, leaving you with beautiful memories and stunning images.

Practical Considerations

While the experience is fully customizable, keep in mind that transportation to Vlychada Beach is not included and incurs an extra charge. If you’re staying nearby or renting a scooter or car, this shouldn’t be an issue. If not, consider arranging transport in advance to ensure timely arrival.

The package is suitable for most couples, but it’s not recommended for pregnant women, people with mobility impairments, or wheelchair users—mainly due to the walking involved. The setup is designed to be non-intrusive and in sync with nature, making it ideal for those who appreciate understated elegance.
