🇬🇷 Dream Wedding Venue on Cameo Island. ZANTE

The most unique and whimsical choice: getting married on an island surrounded by the glistening waters and coves of Cameo.

Cameo is located in Agios Sostis nearby to the resort of Laganas. Cross over the wooden bride and embark on your own magical fairytale setting. A truly romantic setting and your own personal paradise.

Your wedding ceremony will be held in a picturesque cove, which you and your guests can also reach by boat, giving the occasion a story-book charm.

A maximum of two weddings a day can be held on Cameo Island, from May to mid-October.

There is no bar and receptions can not be held on the island. The wedding coordinator in resort can arrange drinks for a toast after the ceremony. (To be paid locally). Water, beers, prosecco and soft drinks can be purchased locally and will be brought to the cove.

After your ceremony there is plenty of time for a toast and photos with your loved ones before heading off to continue the celebrations.

They offer many choices from :
…. the traditional Vrachos taverna
…. the modern beach club vibes of Infinity
….. and many more venues which can be hired for reception only- choices to suit all budgets.

When it comes to food, you’ve got the choice of five restaurants:
- The main restaurant is a buffet setup, serving around-the-world dishes
- The rest are à la carte eateries.
- The rooftop place specialises in Mediterranean cuisine and then there are restaurants serving sushi 🍱 , authentic Cretan dishes, and grilled meat and fish 🐟
- Snacks and drinks are on offer from the three bars, which are dotted around the poolside 🍹

If you can tear yourself away from your daybed, you can get involved in games of football, ⚽️ tennis 🎾 and Basketball 🏀 Aqua fit sessions take place in the pool💦, and you can even join dance and yoga 🧘‍♀️ classes .

There’s a sumptuous spa 🧖‍♀️ to indulge in, too, which offers massages and other pampering treatments. You’ll find a sauna, a Turkish bath, hot tubs and a heated indoor pool here, as well as a gym 🏋️‍♀️that’s kitted out with cardio equipment and free weights🤩

My experience …… I took my daughter last year for her 21st - we had an absolute ball (You are never too old)😉

We had a few days in central Paris, crammed so much in! Walking tour up the Eiffel Tower, lunch on a river cruise, visited many museums, cathedrals, walked our feet off 🚶and a magical night at a Parisienne cabaret “ Paradise Latin” oh wow 😳 now that was a fabulous experience.
