WELCOME TO
ANDROMEDA CENTRE IN KEFALONIA
Andromeda Centre in Lourdas , Kefalonia, was purpose-built and opened for business in 2007.It is set in terraced gardens on a hillside in the heart of the popular resort of Lourdas with unending views over the Ionian sea.
As both owner and chef, Kostas Minetos provides his own variations on recipes from around Greece, as well as other parts of the world Kostas knows the importance of using top quality ingredients as he shops personally for his fresh local meat and vegetables. After spending 5 years in the UK as a chef, he now brought his own unique take on Mediterranean cookery to Lourdas on the Ionian island of Kefalonia. Since its opening, the cosmopolitan nature of the cooking, combined with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, made Andromeda Centre a firm favorite for island residents of all nationalities, as well as an essential port of call for visitors and tourists.
Andromeda’s spacious open air terrace and indoor areas set the scene. They serve as a promise of elegance , romance and incomparable memories. Many of our couples choose to do their wedding ceremony in Kefalonia under the beautiful pergola with the amazing views as well. Andromeda provides an easy access for older and people with disabilities and also, provides a large parking area.
The restaurant offers indoor & outdoor seating and bars. We cater for Wedding receptions, Engagement, Baptisms and Birthday Parties as well as more intimate occasions. Andromeda’s team can also provide a wedding co-ordination service for couples looking to get married in Kefalonia.

“SPECTACULAR WEDDING DAY & VILLA STAY”
After months of preparation with ourselves, Kostas and Annie we arrived in Kefalonia for our wedding on the beach followed by a meal at Andromeda. I have to say the day was amazing and thanks to Kostas and Annie went exceptionally smoothly, I would recommend these guys to everyone, they are lovely, friendly people and simply amazing and we can't thank them enough. The food and service at Andromeda is fantastic. We had the most special day. We also stayed in the Andromeda villa which is amazing, fantastic pool, spacious and a very high standard throughout.
THANK YOU X X X

“WORD CAN’T DESCRIBE OUR WEDDING”
A couple of years ago (in 2017) we attended a friend’s wedding here a knew it was the place for us. Our wedding planners couldn’t have been more helpful and made our day any more perfect! From the stunning venue, delicious food and our amazing wedding singer it was better than I could ever imagine. Everything was planned to perfection and it showed, our guests have not stopped talking about it.
We’re back there tonight for one last visit before we go home but will definitely be back next year!!

“OUR DREAMING WEDDING”
We can´t thank Kostas and Anna enough for planning and making our dream wedding come true! They are so professional and we are so satisfied with them. From the very first day when we started planning the day.
They are easy to get in contact with, always. They listen to all your requirements and help you with everything, they make everything so simple. On the wedding day I don’t have words to describe it with, everything was simply perfect and they took care of the whole day in the best way possible. Everything is top notch, food, planning, photographers, details...Even our guests was pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend them to everyone,
Thank you again best Kostas and Anna !

“MOST AMAZING WEDDING VENUE”
We haven’t ever written a review but we couldn’t not write a review for the Andromeda and Kostas and Annie! We found the venue online and read the reviews and were keen to see it so we flew out to meet Kostas and Annie and they were both so lovely, helpful and we felt the Andromeda was the perfect setting for our wedding. Throughout planning the wedding they were both brilliant! I felt I sent a lot of e-mails but they always responded very promptly and were so helpful particularly with the legalities, you could tell they knew exactly what they were doing and it just made it so easy!They never made me feel I was asking too much and always put me at ease, they just gave us the impression they knew exactly what we wanted. I sent alot of photos of things off Pinterest/Instagram of the ideas of what we liked and they managed it perfectly and paid a lot of attention to detail which I really appreciated. The lady who carried out the ceremony was also great and contacted us with enough time for us to write our own vows and put it all together! When we arrived in Kefalonia we had our pre-wedding meeting and again they got everything right ! On the day it was all so perfect! Kostas and Annie did an amazing job, organising it all and everybody mentioned how well planned and thought out it all was and how there experience and knowledge shone through! The Andromeda was the perfect venue for us, and the package we had suited us and our guests. The food was AMAZING including the Cake, I was so happy as it was something I was a bit worried about as we hadn’t sampled it before hand and I know in the UK we would have but we couldn’t fault the food at all - it was the best food we had all holiday ! All the staff were very friendly and attentive and the entire day ran so smoothly. We will be forever grateful to Kostas, Annie and their team for helping make our dream day a reality and the Andromeda will always have a special place in our hearts! The only thing I would have perhaps liked is fireworks - I don’t remember knowing this was an option but we saw a wedding on there a few nights before ours and they had fireworks so I would say if there’s anything you want at all ask as I think they can do pretty much anything. All In all we would recommend it to anyone to get married abroad and for a stress free wedding I’d 100% recommend Andromeda ❤️

“OUR PERFECT GREEK WEDDING”
I don't know where to start... I have been planning our perfect greek wedding for 2 years now. Having looked at various wedding planners and venues we decided to have it at Andromeda. It was the best decision we ever made!!! I can not speak highly enough of Kostas and Annie. Kostas through the whole 2 years of emails, messaging and planning could not do enough for us. Although busy himself with lots of weddings he was always so prompt at replying. When planning a wedding abroad, you think it would be harder, more difficult but this was not the case and Kostas took the stress and worry out of that. He gained our trust and would go above and beyond for us. Nothing appeared too much trouble and anything we wanted, we got. Our wedding was perfect from start to finish. It ran so smoothly. We were happy and guests were happy. The view, the people, the greek culture, the food. What is not to love!! You can't help but fall in love with the greek way of life. Our family and friends love a good party and kostas and the dj kindly played music until early hours of the morning. We didn't want it to be over and we literally danced the night away. We opted to pay the additional cost for the fireworks during the first dance and what a display it was. It was definately worth it and made the moment that bit more special. Annie took care of the flowers, decorations etc and i had the most beautiful bouquet that was everything i wanted. Sofia (make up) and Jayne (hair) were brilliant and tailored to what i wanted. My hair and make up lasted the entire day. The videographer and photographer (Maria) were brilliant and were there throughout. I can't wait to see our photos. Maria told me to relax, embrace the moment and enjoy the day and although excited, it put my nerves at ease. From that moment i did exactly as she told. The food was amazing. An amazing selection of food and plenty of it too. It was delicious and the same can be said for our beautiful wedding cake. (I'm glad i saved some room) Some of our guests had certain dietary requirements which they happily catered for and they had really good options. We had the traditional greek dancers which was such a beautiful touch and got everyone up dancing. We also had the Greek Bouzaki players/singers who sang when i walked down the isle with my dad. (I could cry thinking about it.) It was so special and so lovely to have greek traditions within our day. All our guests are still talking about the day now, even though it was over 2 months. It truly was the most magical day. We both have the happiest memories of our wedding day and it was everything we could of wished for... and more!!!! Honestly from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU Kostas and Annie for giving us the most amazing wedding day. We have so much to thank you for and it wouldn't of been possible without you. We will definitely return to Andromeda next June to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and i am sure we will be returning for many years after xxx
