Lexeko Estate in Lythrodontas, Cyprus, hires out its grounds for weddings of up to 500 guests, and lists corporate and private events and christenings among the occasions it hosts. The reception grounds hold 100 to 500 people, outdoors, on a working estate of pine forest, olive terraces and a lake.
Seminars and company events
The estate names corporate and private events as one of three occasions it offers, next to weddings and christenings. The site does not publish a detailed corporate page, so there are no stated meeting rooms, equipment or day formats. What it does give is the set of outdoor grounds, which suit a company party, an anniversary dinner or a team day with a long table under the trees. Organisers should send the date and the expected headcount, as the estate asks, and ask which ground fits and what is available for a daytime program.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the estate's main offer, for up to 500 guests. A couple can marry in the Chapel of Apostolos Lucas, on the island at Swan Lake, or in a civil ceremony under the pines. The chapel holds Orthodox and civil ceremonies as well as christenings. After the ceremony, guests move to a reception ground. The estate also offers the Rose Garden for drinks before dinner, with the lake in view.
Rooms and capacities
All event spaces are outdoors and each has a stated size.
The long table seats up to 500 guests, with chandeliers hung between the tree trunks. Under the Stars, the main reception ground, is open to the sky and the hillside and takes up to 500 guests. The Enchanted Forest, the second reception ground, sits under the pines with lights strung between them and takes up to 150 guests. The Island is kept small, with ceremonies for up to 100 guests. The Rose Garden is used for drinks receptions. The Chapel is for ceremonies and christenings.
The estate does not describe any indoor hall, so plan for weather with the team when you visit.
Catering
A restaurant named Kosti, serving Cypriot farm-to-table food, is announced as coming soon. The site does not say whether it will cater private events, or whether outside caterers may be used. Ask before you plan a menu.
History and setting
Lexeko is a working estate above the hills of Lythrodontas. The olives are picked by hand each October, hives stand at the edge of the forest, and the horses in the paddock were born on the estate. The Chapel of Apostolos Lucas stands on the grounds. The estate also opens its gates to the public a few times a season, for example a farmers market on Sunday, November 15, and a Christmas market, so check dates before booking a weekend.
Getting there
The estate is at 100 Spyrou Kyprianou, Lythrodontas, in the Nicosia district of Cyprus. Visitors arrive by one gravel track that runs the length of the grounds. The estate offers to walk organisers around before they decide anything, which is the best way to judge access, parking and layout for your group.
