To marry on Corfu, choose a grand seaside resort for ease, a historic Venetian estate for character, or an olive-grove venue for a relaxed celebration. The greenest Ionian island suits May–June and September weddings, usually with a symbolic ceremony. Corfu Imperial hires from €5,500 for 50 guests.
Corfu is the lush, green exception to the Greek island cliché — cypress and olive instead of bare rock, a Venetian old town instead of whitewashed cubes, a softer and more aristocratic feel than the Cyclades. It has long hosted European royalty, and its mix of grand resorts and historic estates makes it one of the most elegant places in Greece to marry.
Choose between the polish of a seaside resort, the character of a Venetian estate, and the calm of an olive-grove venue.
