Getting married on Kalymnos
Tell us your plans. Our team on the island answers with venues, people and practical steps.
Couples with Kalymnian roots come home from Australia, America and Athens to marry here. Couples without roots come for the setting. The hard part is not the island, it is the details: which venue fits which season, who photographs here well, how the paperwork flows and where forty guests sleep in August. Those are exactly the questions our local team answers.

Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners get married on Kalymnos?
Yes. Civil and religious ceremonies are possible for non-residents with the right paperwork prepared in advance. Requirements depend on nationality and ceremony type.
How far ahead should we plan a Kalymnos wedding?
For a summer date, start 9 to 12 months out. Guest accommodation is the real constraint on a small island, especially around August. Spring and autumn are easier.
Why do people marry on Kalymnos?
Family roots and the setting. Kalymnian families abroad come home to marry, and the island offers chapels above the sea, harbour views and celebrations that run long.
