WEDDINGS IN KOS
By Emma Karanastasi
Unique Wedding Locations
The Beach
Simple beach setting – You are marrying in Greece so why not take advantage of the stunning surroundings and say your vows to one another on the warm sand with the sparkling Aegean Sea behind you lapping at the shore. Your beautifully rustic decoration is just enough to mark the location where you are to marry. We don’t believe in hiding this unique scenery with a gazebo or marquee – let yourselves and your guests witness your nuptials in the most natural of places, whilst breathing in the wonderfulness that is a summer’s evening in Kos.
Zia Natural Park
Zia Natural Park – This breathtaking location is one of the highest points in Kos where you can say your vows to one another overlooking the gorgeous mountain village of Zia. It boasts the most amazing views, a calm and tranquil setting, and is ideal for smaller groups. A natural and rustic way to enjoy Greece, whilst also offering the ‘wow’ factor to impress your guests.
Recommended reception venue: Avli Zia, Olympia 2
Cavo Greco
Cavo Greco is a stunning cliff-top venue that has superb views over the beach and sea out towards Nisyros. Contemporary and fresh, your ceremony here can either be on the white, sandy beach below, or on the beautiful elevated terrace. You must have booked your reception at Cavo Greco in order to marry on the terrace.

The Town Hall
Town Hall – The local town hall of Kos, as well as the Traditional House Museums in Kardamena and Antimachia welcome you with open arms if a simple Greek Town Hall setting is what you are looking for. Traditional, calm, quick and efficient. This is an ideal setting if your are escaping home to marry without all the fuss, if you’re travelling over here without guests or if you simply don’t like the beach!

Recommended reception venue: Lofaki, Avli Zia, Olympia 2 Zia
Kastri Island
Kastri Island – Where better to say your vows than on an exclusive, tiny islet just off the shore of Kefalos? The stunning island has it’s own pretty little blue and white chapel, and amazing views as you are surrounded by natural beauty and the shimmering sea. This location is accessible only by boat, so you and your guests will have the fun of sailing to your wedding and enjoying the ultimate Greek experience. The tiny chapel stands proud on the island and as you exchange your wedding bands and declare your vows to one another in this perfect setting, you create memories that will last forever. Your boat transfer is handled and booked by a fully insured local travel agency, giving you peace of mind and security.

In the middle of Kefalos, is a beautiful hillside, boasting a traditional, refurbished windmill, lovingly brought back to life by a local family. There is even a resident donkey who loves his life welcoming visitors. This
venue is stunning in every detail, and nothing has been left to chance. Overlooking both sides of the island, you can immerse yourselves in the breathtaking views over towards Kalymnos and in the other direction is Kastri Island and Nisyros. Imagine a ceremony on the top, with the sun setting behind you, looking at the bay of Kefalos while you say ‘I do’.
