Corfu Wedding Venues at a Glance

The list runs from the Kommeno peninsula south through Corfu Town to the south-east coast, then crosses to the west. It is not a ranking.

How to Compare Corfu Venues Like for Like

Every venue on this list hosts weddings and looks out to the sea. Three questions then separate them.

Resort, Historic Venue or Private Villa

Most Corfu venues here are resorts and hotels that host weddings in named spaces: a waterfront restaurant, a garden, a sky bar, a ballroom. That suits a guest list that wants to stay in one place and treat the wedding week as a holiday.

Two work the other way. Villa Medusa is a private Corfiot mansion that Grecotel offers for intimate celebrations, and The Courti Estate is a gated estate available for private hire for weddings. You trade a resort's facilities for privacy and a smaller, more personal guest list.

Corfu Holiday Palace and Corfu Palace Hotel sit in between: hotels in Corfu Town and Kanoni with ballrooms or banquet terms, handy for the days around the wedding in town.

Ceremony Setting and Sea View

Read each venue's view as it describes it. Some face open water. Others put a landmark in the frame: Corfu Imperial names "the Old Town's Venetian silhouette", and Rodostamo frames its weddings against the Church of Ipapanti on Kommeno Bay.

Then check which ceremony each space hosts. Angsana Corfu lists its ceremony spaces as symbolic wedding venues. If you choose a symbolic venue, ask it where and when couples usually hold the legal ceremony. Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo's enquiry form lists legal, symbolic, renewal of vows and same-sex ceremonies. Most of the others say they host weddings without naming a ceremony type, so ask before you fall for a terrace.

If the legal marriage matters to you, the full steps are in the legal section below.

Capacity, Rooms and Exclusive Use

Published ceremony capacity runs from the couple and up to eight guests in Atlantica's Secret Garden to 250 at Angsana Corfu's Vertigo Sky Bar. For a large reception in town, Corfu Holiday Palace lists banquet seating for 300 and 350 in its two ballrooms. Many venues publish no figure, which is a reason to ask, not to rule them out.

Rooms matter more than usual when most guests fly long-haul. Angsana Corfu lists 196 accommodations and Eva Palace 225 rooms, bungalows and villas, while The Courti Estate has nine bedrooms.

Exclusive use needs a careful read. At The Courti Estate it means private hire of a gated estate. At Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo it means the resort hosts only one wedding on your chosen day, not that the resort closes to other guests. Ask every venue which of the two it is quoting.

Add three questions to every list: is there a step-free route between rooms, the ceremony and the reception for guests with limited mobility; can the venue organise transfers for guests who would rather not drive; and can the whole property be closed to other guests on your dates?

Stay rules can shape the whole trip. Atlantica asks couples marrying there to arrive at least three working days before the wedding and stay two working days after. Ask each venue on your shortlist the same question.

If you are weighing a resort package against a venue on its own terms, our guide to Greece wedding packages sets out how they compare.

Choosing an Area: East or West Coast

Most of this list sits on Corfu's east side, which looks across the water to the mainland. One venue is on the west. The difference is less about which coast is better and more about the setting you want and how your guests will move around.

The east, from Kommeno to the south-east. Four venues sit on or beside the Kommeno peninsula, with views back to the sea and, at Corfu Imperial, the Old Town. Rodostamo puts Kommeno Bay at 11 km from Corfu Airport and 10 km from Corfu Town. Corfu Palace Hotel looks over Garitsa Bay to the mainland. San Antonio sits on Kalami Bay in the north-east, and Angsana Corfu and The Courti Estate are south of town on the south-east coast.

The west. Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo overlooks Ermones Beach in western Corfu, with cliffside views of the Ionian. It puts itself about 25 minutes from Corfu airport and town.

A practical point on weather: the prevailing wind in Corfu is westerly in June, July and August and southerly in May, September and October. Ask any venue with an exposed ceremony spot what its plan is on a windy afternoon.

A simple rule: if your guests want to be near Corfu Town and the airport, look at Kommeno and Corfu Town. If you want a resort that runs the whole week, look south-east or west. If you want the place to yourselves, start with the two private houses.

Kommeno

The Kommeno peninsula reaches into the bay north of Corfu Town, and four venues here give you every scale, from a private islet for 50 to a resort of 225 rooms. Two of them, Corfu Imperial and Villa Medusa, share the same Grecotel grounds.

Grecotel Corfu Imperial, Kommeno

Corfu Imperial hosts weddings and vow renewals with dedicated wedding specialists and customised menus, and calls itself "Greece's most impressively located hotel".

• Setting: The resort sits "at the end of panoramic Peninsula Kommeno", on its own private peninsula, among seaside olive trees, palms and beach coves.

• Sea view: "Uninterrupted views of the sea and the Old Town's Venetian silhouette", surrounded by "emerald waters, fragrant gardens, and cinematic sunsets".

• Ceremony: Three named settings: Yali Waterfront Restaurant, "perched on a deck above the crystal-clear azure waters"; Aristos Restaurant; and the private islet Nissaki.

• Capacity: Aristos and Nissaki each take up to 50 guests. No figure is published for Yali.

• Rooms: Sea view rooms throughout, suites facing the sea, Corfu Town and the marina, and a Waterfront Collection of villas and palazzos with direct sea views, several with private pools or sea decks. No total room count is published.

• Standout: The Palazzo Imperiale sleeps eight and occupies a small private peninsula within the resort, described as "ideal for total exclusivity". It makes a private base for the couple within the resort.

The two named capacities top out at 50, so for a larger guest list ask what Yali holds before you shortlist.

Villa Medusa, Kommeno

Villa Medusa is Grecotel's luxury private villa on the Kommeno peninsula: "your striking private traditional Corfiot Mansion in the Ionian countryside", offered for "intimate sumptuous celebrations with curated menu and set up".

• Setting: Six bedrooms, two private swimming pools, shaded terraces with lounge and dining areas, sprawling gardens and a designated path to the beach.

• Sea view: A beachfront mansion with a "Direct Sea View" and private steps down to the beach.

• Ceremony: Intimate celebrations with a curated menu and set-up.

• Exclusive use: A private villa, so the house is yours for your stay.

• Standout: The path down to the beach, which turns a villa dinner into a walk to the water.

Grecotel Eva Palace, Kommeno Bay

Eva Palace sits on Kommeno Bay and offers a setting for "an intimate beach ceremony or a grand celebration".

• Setting: The resort "sits on a private peninsula along Corfu's emerald coast, surrounded by the Ionian Sea", with a secluded bay and a sandy and pebble beach.

• Sea view: Private balconies and terraces with views of the Ionian.

• Ceremony: An intimate beach ceremony or a larger celebration.

• Rooms: 225 rooms, bungalows and villas with sea or garden views.

• Standout: A 1,700 m2 seawater pool, and the Palazzina, a villa with its own pool and views of the Ionian Sea.

With 225 rooms on site, Eva Palace is the Kommeno option for housing a large guest list in one place.

Rodostamo Hotel & Spa, Kommeno Bay

Rodostamo offers weddings and social events with in-house wedding coordinators who help organise the reception, plus wedding specials for the couple.

• Setting: On Kommeno Bay, 11 km from Corfu Airport and 10 km from Corfu Town.

• Sea view: "In a majestic scenery, overlooking the Ionian Sea and as background the beautiful Church of Ipapanti, by the Kommeno Bay."

• Ceremony: The coordinators organise the reception.

• Capacity: No wedding figure. A 150 sqm multipurpose room on the ground floor seats up to 152 for conferences.

• Standout: The coordinators also help with hair, spa treatments, flowers, photography, decoration and hen and stag nights.

The church across the bay is the picture here. Brief your photographer on it early.

Ask each Kommeno venue to confirm curfews, minimum nights, music rules and the rain plan in writing for your date. Your Wedded Advisor confirms inclusions in writing before you commit.

Corfu Town and Kanoni

Corfu Town is where the largest published capacities on this list sit. Both venues here are hotels with ballrooms or banquet terms, in town for the welcome drinks and the day after.

Corfu Holiday Palace, Kanoni

Corfu Holiday Palace is a five-star hotel in Kanoni that hosts "weddings, parties, and receptions" alongside banquets, galas and anniversaries.

• Setting: "An ethereal setting between a verdant landscape and the Ionian Sea."

• Ceremony: Weddings and receptions. No ceremony location or outdoor wedding space is published.

• Capacity: The Kerkyra Ballroom (400 m2) takes 300 for a banquet and 400 for cocktails. The Nausica Ballroom (400 m2) takes 350 for a banquet and 500 for cocktails. Three smaller rooms take 60 for a banquet and 80 for cocktails each.

• Standout: The fresco in the Nausica room is by the artist Eirini Daniolou Neophytou.

This is the venue on the list for an indoor reception in the hundreds.

Corfu Palace Hotel, Garitsa Bay

Corfu Palace Hotel publishes wedding reception proposals from its banqueting department, with buffet and plated menus, round tables for eight to ten guests and an outdoor reception at the pool. Its wedding terms are dated 2023, so ask for current ones.

• Setting: On Garitsa Bay in Corfu Town, with a "view to Garitsa Bay and the mainland".

• Ceremony: The proposals cover receptions only.

• Capacity: A reception hall for 200 is the bad-weather backup for the poolside reception, with the decision made by 11:00 on the day. Menu terms are quoted for a minimum of 100 people.

• House rules in the 2023 proposals: Outdoor receptions start from 20:30, and outdoor music stops at 23:30, after which the party can move indoors to the main restaurant until 04:00 at the latest. Fireworks are not allowed.

• Standout: It is the only venue on this list that publishes its music cut-off and after-party plan.

If you want to dance late, ask every venue on your shortlist where the party goes after the outdoor music stops, and get the answer in writing.

For both town venues, ask for minimum nights, set-up times and current house rules in writing.

Kalami and the North-East

In the north-east, ancient olive groves run down to Kalami Bay, where one adults-only resort hosts weddings with the Ionian in view. It is the most northerly venue on this list.

San Antonio Corfu Resort, Kalami

San Antonio is an adults-only resort on Kalami Bay in north-east Corfu that hosts weddings, receptions and vow renewals.

• Setting: An adults-only resort in "the most privileged seafront location in North-East Corfu", among ancient olive groves on Kalami Bay.

• Sea view: "Spectacular views over the Ionian Sea and the small fishing village" below.

• Ceremony: Weddings, receptions and vow renewals on "the ample sun-kissed terraces of the hotel".

• Rooms: Sea View Rooms, Sea View Suites and a Hideaway Villa. No room count is published.

• Standout: The fishing village below is the one "chosen by the Durrell Family as their place of residence when Gerald Durrell wrote his masterpieces". Its signature venue, Callao On The Coast, sits on the beach.

Adults only shapes who can stay on site, so check it against your guest list before you fall for the view.

Benitses and the South-East

South of Corfu Town, the coast gives you the clearest choice on the island: a resort with published spaces and seasons, or a private estate on a hill. Which suits you comes down to your guest count and how much of the property you want to yourselves.

Angsana Corfu, Benitses

Angsana Corfu presents itself as a setting for vows, anniversaries, proposals and honeymoons, with a wedding brochure and a venue finder on its site.

• Setting: South of Corfu Town, in the Benitses area.

• Sea view: "Blue horizons stretching beyond the ceremony", in "the ultimate luxurious Mediterranean setting with endless sea views".

• Ceremony: Two symbolic ceremony venues for 2026, both outdoors and weather permitting: Vertigo Sky Bar, for up to 250, from mid-May to the end of September, and Oribu Garden, for up to 30, from April to October. See the 2026 wedding brochure.

• Receptions: Vertigo Sky Bar for up to 250 from the end of May to the end of September; Oribu Restaurant, indoor and outdoor, for up to 150 in April, May, September and October; Oribu Garden for up to 30 from April to October.

• Rooms: 196 accommodations and 345 sqm of event space in total.

• Standout: Nine named spaces, from Starboard Terrace and Emerald Beach to Sofrito and Ruen Romsai restaurants.

The seasons matter here. Vertigo Sky Bar, the large space, runs a shorter season than the garden, so outside mid-May to September the largest listed ceremony space is Oribu Garden for 30, and a larger reception moves to Oribu Restaurant for up to 150. Because the ceremony venues are listed as symbolic, ask Angsana how a legal marriage would fit around your day if that matters to you.

The Courti Estate, South-East Coast

The Courti Estate is a private villa on the south-east coast, in its own gated estate of 10 acres of ancient olive groves, "available for private hire for holidays, weddings and corporate events".

• Setting: A hilltop house in the olive groves, looking inland to the mountain on one side.

• Sea view: "360-degree views over the sparkling waters of the Ionian Sea to one side."

• Ceremony: Weddings on private hire.

• Rooms: Nine bedrooms, with an infinity pool and sprawling grounds.

• Exclusive use: Private hire of the whole gated estate.

• Standout: The restored building dates back to the early 1700s.

With nine bedrooms, the house sleeps the wedding party, so plan where the rest of your guests will stay.

Ermones and the West Coast

On the west coast, one resort sits above Ermones Beach among cypress and pine woods, with cliffside views of the Ionian. It is the only venue on this list on the west side of the island.

Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo, Ermones

Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo offers weddings, renewal of vows and symbolic ceremonies, and its enquiry form lists legal, symbolic, renewal of vows and same-sex ceremony types.

• Setting: "Overlooking Ermones Beach in western Corfu", on 110 acres of cypress and pine woods, about 25 minutes from Corfu airport and town.

• Sea view: "Cliffside views of the turquoise Ionian Sea". The Secret Garden has "sea and mountain views", and Vertigo and Culinarium both take "full advantage of the sea views".

• Ceremony: The Secret Garden hosts the couple and up to eight guests. Vertigo and Culinarium each host up to 30. Private evening reception venues are offered.

• Rooms: Doubles and deluxe rooms, some with private pools, in an adult-friendly atmosphere. No total room count is published.

• Exclusive use: The resort hosts only one wedding on the day you choose.

• Standout: All wedding packages include a personal wedding planner.

• Stay rule: For a wedding, the couple must be at the resort at least three working days before the date, not counting arrival day, public holidays and weekends, and two working days after. For a symbolic or vow renewal ceremony, it is at least two working days.

The ceremony spaces suit a small wedding, with 30 the largest published figure.

Getting to Corfu for Your Wedding

Guests fly into Corfu Airport (CFU), which you can reach by car, by a direct public bus service or by taxi. See the airport's travel information.

Rodostamo, on Kommeno Bay, is 11 km from the airport and 10 km from Corfu Town, and Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo on the west coast is about 25 minutes from the airport and town. San Antonio, Angsana Corfu and The Courti Estate do not publish a distance from the airport, so ask each for its transfer time before guests book.

Two things help long-haul guests. First, give them the venue's own directions with the invitation, so nobody is hunting for a turn-off after a day of flying. Second, build a rest day in before the wedding. Atlantica's stay rule, at least three working days before a wedding, shows how early some venues expect you on the island.

Check Smartraveller's advice for Greece before you book and again before you fly. As at November 2026, the overall advice level is "Exercise normal safety precautions", and it warns guests to take care swimming because of boat traffic, strong currents and marine life, and to swim at patrolled beaches where possible.

When to Marry in Corfu

Corfu's wedding season follows its weather, and the venues set their own seasons inside it. Averages from the Hellenic National Meteorological Service for the Kerkyra station tell the story month by month.

Summer, July and August. The fewest rain days, about three each, and the hottest, with average highs above 31°C. Evenings stay warm too: the average low is 18.9°C in July and 19.3°C in August.

Early and late summer, June and September. June averages a high of 28.2°C and under five rain days. September is a similar temperature, but rainfall climbs sharply, with an average of 87.8 mm against 21.7 mm in August.

Shoulder season, May and October. Highs of 24.0°C and 23.2°C, with more rain days, especially in October. Humidity also rises from summer into September and October.

Venue seasons add a second layer. At Angsana Corfu, Vertigo Sky Bar hosts ceremonies from mid-May to the end of September, while Oribu Garden runs from April to October. Ask every venue which of its spaces are open on your date.

Heat and wildfire. As at November 2026, Smartraveller says heatwaves are frequent in Greece over the summer months and can cause heat exhaustion and heat stroke; it advises drinking water, wearing a hat and light clothing, and staying in shade or air-conditioning. Wildfires occur during the extended summer from June to September, can start with little warning and travel quickly, so follow local authorities' advice.

For a summer date, that means a shaded ceremony spot, a later start, water for guests and an indoor or covered fallback agreed with the venue in advance.

Getting Married Legally in Corfu

Decide early whether the ceremony in Corfu will be your legal marriage or a symbolic one. Some venues say which they host: Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo lists legal and symbolic ceremonies, while Angsana Corfu lists its ceremony venues as symbolic. If the legal marriage matters to you, plan the paperwork before you choose the terrace.

Proving you are free to marry. As at November 2026, Smartraveller says some countries ask you to prove you are free to marry, most often with a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage (CNI) and registry certificates. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade can issue a CNI in Australia, but some local authorities accept only ones issued in their own country. Ask the destination's embassy or consulate:

• whether you need one

• where to get it

• whether it needs an authentication or apostille.

In Athens. The Australian Embassy in Athens witnesses CNI applications, issues CNIs, witnesses notices of intended marriage and legalises documents by authentication or apostille. All notarial services need an appointment, though apostille and CNI documents can be sent by post. The Embassy gives no legal advice, and fees apply.

Back home. An overseas marriage cannot be registered in Australia, but in most cases it is legally recognised if it was valid where it took place and would have been valid under Australian law. A foreign marriage certificate is usually accepted as proof of marriage but may not work as proof of a name change. Read Smartraveller's guide to getting married overseas.
