Agios Lazaros is not a town with venues, it is the island's most exclusive residential enclave, a hillside of private villas above Psarou.
The honest play here is a private villa buyout, with the island's landmark resorts a few minutes away at Psarou and Ornos.
Best for couples who want total privacy and proximity to the glamour of Nammos and Psarou beach.
Agios Lazaros is a small, ultra exclusive residential corner of Mykonos on the hillside above Psarou bay, between Psarou and Ornos. It has no large hotels of its own. Instead it is defined by private luxury villas, and the genuine wedding option here is an exclusive villa buyout for an intimate to mid sized celebration. For couples who want a full service venue, the island's landmark resorts sit only minutes away at Psarou and Ornos. June to September is the season, with strong meltemi winds and peak crowds in midsummer. Mykonos town and the airport are around ten minutes by road.
The island's most private address.
Agios Lazaros is the discreet, moneyed corner of Mykonos, a hillside of designer villas overlooking the turquoise water of Psarou bay, just along the coast from the celebrated Nammos beach club. There is no village square and no grand hotel here. What there is instead is privacy, the kind that draws the people who could stay anywhere, in a setting of whitewashed walls, bougainvillea and uninterrupted sea views. For a wedding, that makes Agios Lazaros a place for an exclusive villa celebration rather than a hotel production.
We think it is only honest to say so plainly. The genuine offer of Agios Lazaros is a private villa taken on exclusive use, with a planner and caterer building the day around the pool terrace and the view. For couples who would rather have a full service venue with rooms, the island's landmark resorts are only minutes away, at Psarou below and around the bay at Ornos, so a wedding based here can borrow the best of both, the privacy of the hill and the polish of a resort.
The honest cautions are wind, crowds and cost. Mykonos catches the strong summer meltemi wind, which can unsettle an exposed hillside terrace, so a sheltered ceremony spot and a plan B matter here more than almost anywhere. July and August are hot, very busy and at peak prices, while June and September are kinder on all three counts. And this is among the most expensive ground in Greece. Hold your villa and your suppliers early, lean on a planner who knows Mykonos, and Agios Lazaros delivers a wedding of rare privacy and glamour.
Four options, ranked on merit.
We rate these for the wedding itself, the setting, the catering, and how well they host. The order is our honest view and nothing else. The first is the enclave itself, the rest are landmark resorts minutes away.

The practical things, told straight.
Mykonos is among the most expensive islands in Greece, and Agios Lazaros is its most expensive corner. Treat every figure as indicative and confirm directly, because villa hire, catering, production and the season move the total far more than any single line.
What it costs
As an indicative December 2025 guide, a wedding here for 40 to 150 guests often lands between EUR 60,000 and EUR 250,000 all in, depending on the villa or resort and how much you produce. A private villa buyout in peak season with full production sits at the top of that range.
Getting there
Mykonos airport and the town are around ten minutes away by road, with seasonal flights from across Europe and fast ferries from Athens. The hillside lanes are narrow, so arrange transfers and valet parking for guests, and allow for summer traffic.
The legal bit
Civil, religious and symbolic ceremonies are all possible in Greece. Many couples handle the legal step at home and hold a symbolic ceremony at the villa or resort. A local planner will confirm the current paperwork for your nationality and arrange a celebrant.
When to marry here
June and September are the sweet spots, warm and a little calmer than the height of summer. July and August bring peak crowds, peak prices and the strongest meltemi winds, so a sheltered ceremony spot and a wind plan are essential whenever you marry.
A villa wedding here all but requires a planner who knows Mykonos.
A private villa has no events team of its own, so a Mykonos planner is essential, to source the villa, bring in catering, staffing and production, manage the wind and the licences, and handle the logistics an exclusive estate demands. The island has an experienced community of planners, caterers and florists used to high end villa weddings. Tell us your style and guest count and we will introduce the right one.
