Corfu, Greece’s leading wedding destination, is one of the most enchanting islands in the Ionian Sea. Rich in history, culture and natural beauty -Kerkyra in Greek- is mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey. It is the final stop of Odysseus before returning to Ithaca. The island has long been a place of myth, romance and regal charm.
Over the centuries, Venetian, French and British influences shaped Corfu’s distinctive character. Nowhere is this more evident than in Corfu Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s no wonder that with elegant Venetian architecture, Italianate squares and impressive fortifications exude an atmosphere of aristocratic charm and Mediterranean sophistication. The island’s regal heritage is reflected in its historic palaces, including the Achilleion Palace and Mon Repos.
Beyond its historic capital, the island unravels with expansive landscapes of olive groves, picturesque villages and spectacular beaches. The dramatic turquoise bays of Paleokastritsa, the golden dunes of Issos Beach near Lake Korission and the tranquil coves along the east coast, to mention a few, inspire unforgettable celebrations.
Majestic estates, luxury resorts, boutique hotels and seaside venues await to accommodate weddings of every style. With a culinary character, majestic beauty and an expansive coastal line, Corfu is a prime wedding destination. Small chapels and picturesque churches in the middle of the sea add to the island’s charm, cinematic weddings that promise memories to last a lifetime.
