WEDDINGS IN KOS
By Emma Karanastasi
The Wedding Breakfast
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 bohemian 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 - We've been working at this amazing mountain-top venue through 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
Avli, Kardamena
Avli, Kardamena – A quaint, enclosed courtyard is exclusively yours for your whole wedding reception meal and party, right through until the early hours. Set in the heart of Kardamena, its high stone walls and thousands of stunning flowers create the perfect secluded venue. The very high standard of this restaurant is apparent in both the menu and the service. Ideal for parties of 30-50 people, this gorgeously Greek oasis is one in a million. There are specific packages for the exclusive hire of the restaurant, but you can also book a table only meal here, for up to 10 people.

Sydney
Sydney – This poolside, private location is in Kefalos and is perfect as a setting for any size wedding party. The shady seating area, and the cooling pool beside you give the simply perfect wedding reception atmosphere. With a renowned menu, Sydney provides an amazing wedding meal. Once you have cut your cake and danced your first dance, why not dance the night away with our DJ playing your requests.
