WEDDINGS IN KOS
By Emma Karanastasi
The Wedding Breakfast
Mylotopi
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. Thisvenue 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.
Ceremony location recommendations - Kastri Island, Beach setting or Mylotopi Windmill
Aplo
Aplo – This is an amazingly relaxed, Bohemian-style venue that can hold up to 50 people. It is set high on the dunes in Mastichari, and offers traditional Greek meze cuisine, a breathtaking sunset and superb cocktails. You can hire the venue exclusively or simply reserve a table for your party if you are less than 20 people. Minimal decor works well here, with fresh flowers and rustic details.
recommended ceremony locations – Kastri Island or beach setting
Cavo Greco
Cavo Greco – Set on a cliff top in Kefalos, this venue has a contemporary Greek design, which fuses together the traditional and the modern. With lots of clean white and shabby chic driftwood, it is a blank canvas to create an amazing decor theme. The menu is extremely varied and you can choose from either a traditional shared meze menu or a set three course meal. This venue is one of our most popular treasures due to the family’s passion for ‘getting it right’
recommended ceremony venue: Kastri Island, Cavo Greco beach
Avli, Zia
Avli, Zia – This restaurant is set high up in the mountain village of Zia and is one of our favourites. The family-run restaurant has a gorgeous roof terrace that is exclusively yours for your wedding party. The terrace looks out over the whole island, and boasts a magnificent sunset. The cooling trees and gentle breeze will give the perfect setting for your celebrations. We recommend booking the traditional Greek dancers for entertainment. The menu is generally a traditional Greek meze (sharing platters) but other menu options are available.
recommended ceremony venue: Beach setting, Kastri Island, Kos Town Hall
Lofaki
Lofaki - As we've been working at this amazing mountain-top venue throughout the last 15 years, we have a seamless, fresh approach to wedding receptions here – we use our bespoke decor themes to create a wonderfully plush and striking table set-up. With many set menus to choose from, and many entertainment choices, such as DJ and Greek Dancers, you will have an exceptional wedding reception here.
You do not have to have held your ceremony here to book a reception. Recommended ceremony locations: Beach, Lofaki, Kos Town Hall
Starlight Beach Bar
Starlight Beach Bar, the perfect mix of contemporary and laid-back beach vibes, casual and relaxed, with hearty, home-made food right in the centre of Kardamena.
With views stretching out across the Aegean Sea and a golden hour that paints the sky in the prettiest shades of pink.
Anemos
Perched on the edge of Kardamena, Anemos is the kind of place that makes a wedding celebration feel effortlessly special. With the Aegean stretching out before you and incredible views along the coast, it’s a beautiful setting for a long, laid-back celebration with your favourite people.
Best known for its fresh fish and seafood, Anemos brings together delicious Greek flavours, warm hospitality and an enviable seaside setting. Think long tables, plates of freshly caught fish, glasses of chilled wine and the sun setting over the water, relaxed, romantic and wonderfully unpretentious.
