Bride's Allamata

Lexeko Estate

Ceremony

Reception

The day of celebrations will begin with the bride’s allamata — a cherished Cypriot tradition shared with close family and friends. It will take place at the bride's family home in Nicosia. Meanwhile, the groom will be getting ready at a separate location nearby, surrounded by his own family and friends. Guests from both parties are warmly welcome to attend the bride’s allamata. The celebrations will then continue with the wedding ceremony and reception at the enchanting Lexeko Estate in the village of Lythrodontas (approximately 30–35 minutes’ drive from the bride’s house).

Our Wedding

LEXEKO ESTATE

100 Spyrou Kyprianou, Lythrodontas 2565, Cyprus

Nestled in the peaceful hills of Lythrodontas, Cyprus, Lexeko Estate is the beautiful setting where we will celebrate our wedding together. Surrounded by olive groves, pine trees and sweeping countryside views, the estate feels wonderfully calm, romantic, and a little bit magical. The grounds are filled with natural beauty — open gardens, ancient olive trees, and charming corners that feel like something out of a storybook. With its rustic character and elegant touches, the estate perfectly reflects the atmosphere we dreamed of for our day: relaxed, intimate, and full of joy. We chose Lexeko Estate because it captures the feeling of a garden fairytale — a place where nature, warm summer air, and the people we love come together to create unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to celebrate here with you.
