Wedding at Island Art and Taste: Your Perfect Day
This day has been a long time coming. The dress. The flowers. The moment you walk down the aisle toward the person you love most. But what really matters is finding a venue that becomes part of your story, not just hosts your wedding.
Island Art and Taste is a wedding venue that is anything but typical. Tucked away along the renowned Athens Riviera, this first-class destination is a rare find, offering the unique experience of a private Greek island getaway without the need to leave the mainland.

Why Brides Are Falling for Island Resort
One of the biggest decisions you'll make is choosing where to celebrate your wedding. You want a venue that will look great in photos (because, yes, those Instagram posts matter), but you also want your guests to enjoy themselves. You are looking for elegance without it being overwhelming. Sophistication without compromise.
That is precisely what Island Resort provides.
Nestled within the embrace of the natural Mediterranean landscape, the resort boasts six unique private event spaces, each infused with its own distinct character. The Island Club & Restaurant is legendary, and soon there will be refined cabanas. There are also multiple villas that feel like they were designed specifically for celebration. Located just under an hour's drive from central Athens, you can also arrive by helicopter or private boat for an added touch of luxury. This venue brings the timeless charm of the Greek islands right to your doorstep.
Kimberley & Dimosthenis chose Island for their special day, and here's what they had to say: "It had everything we wanted and more, the sun, the sea, the greenery, the little white church that gave a Greek island feel, right in bustling Athens."
The Spaces That Make Magic Happen
It is the unique character of each venue that makes Island so special. Rather than being locked into one aesthetic or atmosphere, you get to choose the setting that best reflects your vision.
Pooja & Ravi celebrated their reception at Island and shared this: "When we visited Island Art and Taste, we immediately fell in love with this breathtaking venue. From the stunning panoramic views to witnessing the golden sunset over the Aegean Sea, we are so happy we chose this location for our reception. Being surrounded by those closest to us, our reception was filled with so much emotion, laughter, and dancing making it a truly magical and unforgettable experience."
Private House: Contemporary Elegance Meets Coastal Beauty
This stunning contemporary space, which is characterised by minimalist sophistication in harmony with the Mediterranean, was designed by Gavalas Architects. The infinity pool terrace is absolutely sensational in the summer. When the evenings draw in, modern fireplaces provide a welcome warmth.
The indoor-outdoor design flows seamlessly, allowing your guests to enjoy cocktails under the moonlight before dinner is served on the lawn by the open kitchen, and then dance poolside until the sun rises and paints the horizon gold. The serene interior uses natural materials and muted colours throughout to create an effortlessly cool atmosphere.
The walls are adorned with pieces by Abdullah Qandeel, Antonakos Stephen, Joep Van Liefland and Massimo Listri, sure to be appreciated by art lovers. Rustic elements in leather, stone, linen and wood provide a grounding touch, while glamorous decorative accents and exotic tribal details create an unforgettable atmosphere.
C Lounge: Intimate and Unforgettable
Sometimes, coziness and sophistication are desired. C Lounge is the epitome of this. Guests are welcomed by a bar lobby and are then ushered into a light-filled contemporary space where panoramic windows frame the sea and sky.
The clifftop terrace is perfect for drinks, dinner or dancing — whatever you have in mind. Throughout the space, conversation starters are created by eclectic design pieces from different cultures (Japanese Zen symbols, Thai wood carvings, Moroccan textiles). Comfortable rattan and wooden seating contrasts with warm terracottas and cool greys. As evening approaches, the interior is bathed in the glittering light of lanterns, which shine out towards the Aegean.
Residence: Traditional Greek Garden Charm
Brides who love classic outdoor elegance will adore the Residence's expansive garden setting right on the water. Formal daytime events and large outdoor dinners are the perfect fit for this space. The spacious open kitchen serves both a grand terrace and a cliff-top lawn surrounded by blooming hedgerows.
Olive trees are scattered across the grounds. Achieve that authentic Greek atmosphere by adding a rustic wine press and antique ceramic and marble fragments. There is also a minimalist, modern studio apartment for the hosts, providing a private retreat while their guests enjoy the stunning views of ancient Sounio.
Privé: Exclusive Atmosphere with Club Energy
Here's something you might like. Privé offers the best of both worlds: the privacy of a private dining experience combined with the vibrant atmosphere of a renowned club-restaurant.
The contemporary celebration culture on the Athens Riviera has been defined by Island Club Restaurant since the turn of the century. Its generous terrace, carved into the cliff, is the perfect place to enjoy a refined supper amid twinkling lanterns as the sun sets. As the moon rises, the atmosphere changes into one of joyful celebration, with guests of all generations mixing around club tables.
The Privé mezzanine offers a vantage point overlooking the main dining and dancing area, with views stretching out to the sea. Their culinary team creates bespoke menus for intimate gatherings or celebrations of up to a hundred guests, tailored to your vision.
The Chapel: Where Your Ceremony Becomes a Memory
Their picturesque waterside chapel lends itself perfectly to classic wedding ceremonies and baptisms. It's that charming white Greek chapel you've seen in countless photographs—except this one could be yours for the day. The combination of traditional architecture with coastal surroundings creates moments that photographers dream about and guests remember forever.

Kristina & Kevin chose Island for their destination wedding, bringing together family and friends from every continent. They described it beautifully: "Set against the sun-drenched backdrop of the Athens Riviera, our wedding unfolded as a natural reflection of the lives we have built across the world. Having lived in different countries and cultures, a destination wedding felt less like a choice and more like a calling — a way to bring every chapter of our journey together in one meaningful place."
They continued: "As golden hour washed the coastline in warm light, we exchanged vows overlooking the endless blue of the Aegean Sea. The ceremony was intimate, emotional, and beautifully simple — a pause in time where nothing mattered except the promises we made and the people who stood beside us. More than a wedding, it was a collection of moments: shared glances, spontaneous laughter, sunset embraces, and memories woven together by love."
